FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 14 JANUARY 2011 CHEMRING GROUP PLC NEW BANK FACILITIES Chemring Group PLC ("Chemring" or "the Group") announces that it has signed a new £230 million unsecured bank facility, provided by a syndicate of five lending banks, which matures in April 2015. This new facility will be used to refinance the Group's existing £148 million secured bank facilities and a €31 million secured bonding line at Mecar SA, Chemring's recently acquired subsidiary in Belgium. In addition, the Group's existing US loan notes remain in place, but also now on an unsecured basis.

The facility increases the financial resources available to the Group over the next four years by approximately £55 million, and provides us with greater flexibility as we continue to pursue our growth strategy."
