   WH Ireland Group Plc

   ('WH Ireland' or the 'Company')

   Issue of Equity

   The Company announces options over 20,000 ordinary shares of 5p each in
   the Company ('Ordinary Shares') have been exercised pursuant to the WH
   Ireland Group plc Company Share Option Scheme ('CSOP'), by employees of
   the Company.

   Accordingly, the Company has today issued 20,000 Ordinary Shares (the 'New
   Shares'). Application has been made to admit the New Shares to trading on
   AIM. Admission is expected to become effective 7 December 2016 and the New
   Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing
   Ordinary Shares in issues.

   For the purposes of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and
   Transparency Rules ('DTRs'), the issued ordinary share capital of the
   Company following Admission will consist of 27,487,476 Ordinary Shares
   with voting rights attached (one vote per Ordinary Share). There are no
   Ordinary Shares held in treasury. This total voting rights figure may be
   used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they
   will determine whether they are required to notify their interests in, or
   a change to their interest in, the Company under the DTRs.
