Change in Directors' Dealings

IQGEO Group plc (LSE:IQG, "Company" or "IQGEO") received notification on 1 August 2019 from Kestrel Partners LLP ("Kestrel") that on 1 August 2019 it transferred, on behalf of its discretionary clients, 50,630 ordinary shares of 2p each ("Shares") in the Company from accounts managed by Kestrel to the client's broker accounts. This transfer by Kestrel was made at the request of the client and there is no change in ultimate beneficial ownership.

The notification by Kestrel also included the matters set out below:

Kestrel is the investment manager to Kestrel Opportunities, a cell of Guernsey Portfolios PCC Limited ("Kestrel Opportunities"), and various other clients. This disclosure relates to indirect Shares and voting rights in the Company that are managed by Kestrel on a discretionary basis.

Mr Scott is a partner of, and holds a beneficial interest in, Kestrel. Mr Scott is also a shareholder in Kestrel Opportunities and is therefore deemed to have a beneficial interest in Kestrel Opportunities' entire legal holding in IQGEO.

Prior to the transfer of Shares, Kestrel on a combined basis indirectly held Shares and voting rights over 19,045,493 Shares in the Company.

Of the Shares transferred, none were for Kestrel Opportunities which holds 15,082,597 Shares, and therefore all were for accounts in which Mr Scott has no beneficial interest, who, following this transaction, hold 3,912,266 Shares in the Company.

Following this transaction and on a combined basis, Kestrel indirectly holds voting rights over 18,994,863 Shares in the Company, which represents approximately 25.91% of the Company's issued share capital.
