Private Wealth Management Operational Changes

WH Ireland Group Plc

(“WH Ireland” or the “Company”)

Private Wealth Management operational changes

Further to the announcement of 2 June 2016, the Company confirms it has successfully completed the custody and operational outsourcing of its Private Wealth Management back office functions to SEI Investments (Europe) Limited.

A new middle office function has been created based out of the London and Manchester offices. (As previously announced, the Company’s Manchester Wealth Management and Wealth Planning presence will be unaffected by this change.)

Richard Killingbeck, CEO of WH Ireland, stated:

“This is a major milestone achievement and reinforces the ongoing programme of change at the Company. I would like to thank all of our staff members who have helped make this transition happen in what has proven to be a tight timetable.  Moving forward our Wealth Management clients will benefit from an improved client proposition and service levels .”
