Statement regarding London Market

Time Out Group plc (AIM: TMO), the global media and hospitality business, notes recent media speculation regarding a potential new Time Out Market in London ("London Market").

Time Out confirms that the Company is in negotiations in relation to a potential London Market as part of a pipeline of further global locations in the ordinary course of business.

The Company has not entered into any legally binding arrangements in relation to any London Market and there can therefore be no certainty that the current negotiations will result in a subsequent opening.

Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.
