Response to press speculation
The Board of Johnston Press plc (the "Company" or "Group") notes
the recent media speculation and confirms it is in late stage
discussions with Iliffe Media surrounding the potential disposal of
certain titles.
The Company has previously announced that as part of its
portfolio review, a number of brands had been identified that were
not part of its long-term future and a process has been initiated
to explore the potential sale of these assets to identified
parties.
This disposal process is ongoing and a further announcement will
be made when appropriate. Shareholders are advised that there can
be no certainty that the disposal process will lead to any
definitive agreements concerning any possible disposals or as to
the timing or terms of any such agreements.
