Acquisition

Delling Group PLC 09 November 2007 For Release 7:00 am 9 November 2007 DELLING GROUP PLC (DLG.L) The AIM-listed marketing support services group In-fill Acquisition Delling Group PLC ('Delling' or the 'Company'), the only listed marketing support services group on AIM whose principal assets are in Scandinavia, announces that it has exchanged contracts to take over the customers and staff of the privately owned Swedish exhibition company Hennix Expo I Stockholm AB ('Hennix'), for a cash consideration of approximately £185,000, to be paid in three equal instalments during November and December 2007. In 2006 Hennix had an audited turnover of £1.6 million and reported a pre-tax profit of £100,000. Delling is only taking the staff and customers of Hennix, who will be integrated into Delling Expo, and not the fixed cost base. Therefore the contribution to the pre-tax profits of Delling is expected to exceed £100,000 per annum. The Directors consider Hennix's customer base to be strong and it features a number of blue chip companies in Sweden. The Directors believe that there is considerable potential for the further development by Delling Expo of the Hennix customer base. Commenting, Geir Lolleng, CEO, Delling Group, said: 'This deal fits well into our business and should have a positive impact on our revenues and earnings going forward. With our current main focus on improving margins, we will only consider small in-fill acquisitions which contribute immediately to improved margins and the further reduction of cost. As I have mentioned previously, I strongly believe that our programme to reduce costs will impact substantially as we move forward.'
