Directorate Change

26 June 2013

                                  St Ives plc                                  

                                 Board changes                                 

St Ives plc announces a change to the structure of its Board to reflect the
repositioning of the Group that we have completed to date and to serve the
requirements of the business going forward.

After four years at St Ives, Lloyd Wigglesworth is stepping down from the Board
at the end of June 2013. Lloyd is staying to work on a number of important
areas for St Ives over the next few months and he will leave the business in
October.

The Board would like to thank Lloyd for his significant contribution to the
success of St Ives during the last four years, not only across the print and
publishing businesses but also his valuable input to the group's strategy. We
wish him every continued success for whatever he decides to do next.

It is not our intention to appoint another executive director to replace Lloyd
on the Board but the previously announced decision to appoint an additional
non-executive director is in hand.

                                   - Ends -
