Statement re Share Price Fall

Save Group PLC 12 November 1999 Save Group PLC ('the Company') The Company has noted the fall in the Company's share price over recent days. The Board is not aware of any reason for this weakness. In the interim statement of results for the 26 weeks ended 24 June 1999, attention was drawn to the substantial changes in the ownership structure of the major oil companies and the consequential impacts on the market. In general, the Group is continuing to achieve volumes slightly behind those of 1998 but still expected to be significantly ahead of 1997 with margins affected both by substantially higher crude prices and the effect of the changes in structure currently taking place. At this stage, in view of the structural changes mentioned above, the Board anticipate that in the second half of 1999 the Group will earn profits similar to those earned in the first half. The Board continues to believe that the outlook for the UK petroleum retailing industry is brighter than the present and that Save is better placed than anyone to take advantage of the upturn that will come from the present restructuring.
