NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION

RSM Tenon Group PLC

Update on discussions with Baker Tilly

Further to the statement made by RSM Tenon Group plc ("the Company") on 25 July 2013, discussions with Baker Tilly UK Holdings Limited ("Baker Tilly") are continuing.  However, it is now likely that, as a consequence of the Company's high debt level, if an offer is made by Baker Tilly, minimal value, if any, will be attributed to the issued share capital of the Company.

Lloyds Banking Group plc continues to be supportive of the business as the Company discusses with it ways to address its high level of borrowings.

This announcement is being made with the agreement and approval of Baker Tilly.

This announcement does not amount to a firm intention to make an offer and, accordingly, there can be no certainty that an offer will be made.

A further announcement will be made in due course as appropriate.
