Capita acquires Medicals Direct

Capita plc (`Capita') announces that it has acquired Medicals Direct Holdings
Limited (`MDG'), a provider of medical screening services, for £13.2m, on a
cash free-debt free basis, and a deferred consideration, linked to profit
performance, of up to £2m.

MDG made a pro forma operating profit of £2.25m on turnover of £18.6m for the
year to 31 December 2011.

Commenting on the deal, Capita plc Chief Executive, Paul Pindar, said: "MDG
provides more than 150,000 medical screenings every year, primarily to the life
and pensions sector. The acquisition adds new capabilities to Capita by, for
example, allowing Capita to enter the home-based screening market. This
investment works well with our existing portfolio of clinic and mobile unit
screening services, aligns our health proposition with Capita's existing life
and pensions business and adds important new capability to large scale
contracts we may be targeting in the wider private and public sectors."

MDG has around 180 employees across 6 offices.
