Westminster Group Plc:

Final Conversion of Darwin, Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights

Westminster Group Plc ('Westminster' or the 'Company'), the AIM listed supplier of managed services and technology based security solutions to governments and government agencies, non-governmental organisations (NGO's) and blue chip commercial organisations worldwide, announces the issue of 1,618,248 ordinary shares of 10p each ("Conversion Shares") pursuant to the conversion of the final £210,000 of loan notes by Darwin Capital Ltd ("Darwin"), and therefore that there are no amounts outstanding on this instrument and that this source of shares has thus been removed from the market.

The conversion price for both of these loan notes is 12.977 pence; calculated as the lessor of i) 39 pence and ii) 90% of the arithmetic average of the five lowest daily volume weighted average share price calculations per ordinary share out of the ten trading days prior to conversion.

Application will be made for the Conversion Shares, which will rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission will become effective and that trading in the Conversion Shares will commence on or around 19 July 2016 ('Admission').

Total Voting Rights

In accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company hereby announces that following Admission it will have 87,107,903 ordinary shares of 10p each in issue, none of which are held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 87,107,903.

The above figure of 87,107,903 may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
