ENDS Enquiries: Julian Walker Gainsborough Communications +44 (0)20 7190 1705 Notes to Editors on following page Notes to Editors Cohort has been established to capitalise on opportunities to grow, both organically and through acquisition, in the defence technical services market. The directors of Cohort believe that the accessible UK market for such services is large and offers scope for expansion, whilst a portion of the supplier base is fragmented and provides opportunities for consolidation. Cohort will seek to make targeted acquisitions of complementary businesses. Cohort's sole initial trading subsidiary, Systems Consultants Services Limited ('SCS'), is a leading independent defence technical services business based in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire in the United Kingdom. SCS provides a range of technical services to clients in the defence and security sectors, its principal client being the UK Ministry of Defence ('MOD') and its agencies. Its other clients include other UK government departments, NATO, major defence contractors and non-defence businesses. Cohort plc was listed on London's Alternative Investment Market (AIM) on 8 March 2006. This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
