                       Daily Mail and General Trust plc ('DMGT')                   

                              Partial disposal of Wowcher                          

    DMGT announces the disposal of Wowcher, dmg media's online discount business,
    to a newly formed company, in which DMGT holds a c.30% stake.

    The company is also acquiring the UK and Ireland operations of LivingSocial, a
    complementary business that is approximately half the size of Wowcher, and
    expects to realise synergies from the combined operations and databases. 
    Exponent Private Equity is the controlling shareholder of the new company.

    In the year to 30 September 2015, Wowcher generated £30 million of revenues and
    achieved its first full year of operating profits.

    DMGT's net proceeds from the disposal of Wowcher and the investment in the new
    company are £29 million.
