Announcement of

Settlement with FAS

Global Ports Investments PLC ('Global Ports' or the 'Company', together with its subsidiaries and joint ventures, the 'Group' or the 'Global Ports Group'; LSE ticker: GLPR) today announces that Moscow Arbitrage Court has approved the terms of a settlement agreement ('the Agreement') between the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) and the Group's FCT terminal with respect to the findings of FAS in April 2017 that FCT (as well as a number of other Russian terminal operators) was in breach of antimonopoly laws in relation to the pricing of stevedoring services in Russian ports.

Although the specific terms of the agreement are confidential, the Group can confirm that the terms of the settlement will not have any material impact on the Group's financial position or cash flow and will not negatively affect FCT's operating activities in any significant way.

In April 2017 FAS also found the Group's VSC and PLP terminals, to be in breach of antimonopoly laws in relation to the pricing of stevedoring services. The Group challenged the FAS findings with respect to each of FCT, VSC and PLP and appealed against the orders in court.

The Group expects that PLP and VSC will reach settlements with FAS on similar terms in the near future. Court hearings on those arrangements are scheduled for later this month.
