CHANGE OF RESULTS DATE

The Rank Group Plc ("Rank") will announce its financial results for the year ended 30 June 2016 at 7.00am on Tuesday 23 August 2016, rather than on Thursday 18 August 2016 as previously announced.

This delay is a consequence of the continuing developments in the interest expressed by Rank and 888 Holdings plc ("888") in acquiring William Hill PLC and the approaching deadline under Rule 2.6(a) of The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers of 5.00pm on 21 August 2016.

Rank also confirms that guidance remains unchanged following its Interim Management Statement for the 19 weeks to 8 May 2016 announced on the 12 May 2016.

Shareholders and analysts wishing to attend the results presentation in person should please contact Kate Napier by email [e-mail] or by telephone on 01628 504 250.
