INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

The Board of AEA Technology Group plc, today announces its Interim Management Statement for the period 1 April 2012 to date in accordance with the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Directive ruling under DTR 4.3.

Trading in the period remains in line with the Board's expectations.

As we said in our recent annual results statement, trading conditions remain challenging. Nevertheless, good progress is being made in the implementation of the business plan.

On 6 August we announced that we had secured additional short term funding to allow the Board to continue to consider all strategic options to realise value. We continue to have ongoing discussions with a number of interested parties. The Board will provide further updates in due course.

As previously announced the Board does not envisage there will be offers for the share capital of the Company and the Board remains of the view that such options will result in little or no value for Shareholders.
