Sponsored Level I ADR Program Admitted for Trading

12 January 2016

Serco Group plc ('Serco' or 'the Group'), the international service company trading on the London Stock Exchange ('LSE') Main Market under the symbol 'SRP', announces that its American Depositary Receipts ('ADRs') have been formally admitted to trading on the Over-The-Counter ('OTC') platform in the United States via a sponsored Level I ADR program.  Deutsche Bank has been appointed as the Depositary Bank for Serco's ADR program.  Each Serco ADR represents one LSE-listed Serco Ordinary Share.  Serco's ADRs will trade under the symbol 'SCGPY'.

ADRs enable qualifying non‐US companies to have direct and broader exposure to the US investment community, allowing US investors to trade conveniently and efficiently in their normal exchange trading hours and with settlement in US dollars, and will complement Serco's existing primary listing on the LSE.  Further information about Serco's ADR program can be found at www.serco.com/investors/adr.
