Statement re Press Speculation
The Board of Next 15, the tech and data-driven growth consultancy, notes the recent media speculation regarding a potential disposal of a selected number of its brands.
As stated in the Group's reporting over the past year, Next 15 has sought to simplify and strengthen the business.

As such, the Group confirms it is in early-stage discussions regarding a potential sale of a selected number of its brands.
The Board's primary focus is maximising shareholder value. At this time, there can be no certainty that any agreement will be reached, nor as to the terms of any such agreement, including if sufficient value is not realised.
Further updates will be provided as appropriate.
The person responsible for making this announcement on behalf of Next 15 is Mark Sanford, Company Secretary.
