Westminster Group Plc ('Westminster' or the 'Company'), the AIM

solutions to governments and government agencies, non-governmental

by Darwin Capital Ltd ("Darwin").
The Company has received a notice of exercise by Darwin to
convert GBP300,000 zero coupon senior unsecured convertible loan
notes, as detailed in the announcement dated 22 November 2016, into
equity.
The conversion price for these loan notes is 13.462773 pence;
calculated as the lessor of i) 65 pence and ii) 90% of the
arithmetic average of the five lowest daily volume weighted average
share price calculations per ordinary share out of the ten trading
days prior to conversion. As detailed in the Company's announcement
on 22 November 2016, the parties have also agreed to certain
limitations on conversion volumes throughout the duration of the
loan notes.
The balance outstanding on this loan is now GBP0.9m.
Application will be made for the Conversion Shares, which will
rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued Ordinary Shares,
to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission
will become effective and that trading in the Conversion Shares
will commence on or around 7 February 2017 ('Admission').

In accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure
and Transparency Rules, the Company hereby announces that following
Admission it will have 89,336,270 ordinary shares of 10p each in
issue, none of which are held in treasury. Therefore, the total
number of voting rights in the Company is 89,336,270.
The above figure of 89,336,270 may be used by shareholders in
the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they
