IG GROUP HOLDINGS PLC
Statement on impact of EU Referendum vote

Given the extremely unusual nature of the event and the significant movements in financial markets, IG Group ("IG", "the Company"), a global leader in online trading, today issues the following update on the immediate impact of the trading around the EU Referendum.

The Company managed its operations and exposure very effectively through the night and into today.  IG's emphasis has been on assisting clients through this period of uncertainty, through measures both ahead of and during the event.  The financial markets may remain unpredictable for some time to come and IG will continue to monitor and manage exposures and client positions very carefully.  Although very early in the financial year, the Company is performing in line with expectations.

IG will release its financial results for the year ended 31 May 2016 on Tuesday 19 July 2016.
