Response to OEM announcement

Autins Group plc (AIM: AUTG), a leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of acoustic and thermal insulation solutions for the automotive sector notes the announcement yesterday by Jaguar Land Rover that it is to temporarily reduce production levels at one of its UK manufacturing plants from October until the end of 2018.

The Board is seeking further clarification from Jaguar Land Rover regarding the impact of its announcement but the Board believes that lower levels of supply will be required by this site which could have a potentially material impact on the outcome for FY19.

The Board will provide further detail as soon as possible, including updates on the outcome for the current financial year which ends on 30 September 2018.
