Ubisense Group plc (LSE:UBI, "Company" or "Ubisense") received notification on 28 March 2017 from Kestrel Partners LLP ("Kestrel") that on 28 March 2017 it acquired, on behalf of its discretionary clients, 100,000 ordinary shares of 2p each ("Shares") in the Company at a price of £0.45 per share. The notification 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 Ubisense.

Prior to this purchase of Shares, Kestrel on a combined basis indirectly held Shares and voting rights over 15,815,493 Shares in the Company.

The 100,000 shares were acquired on behalf of Kestrel Opportunities and other discretionary clients.  Following this transaction, Kestrel Opportunities holds (and consequently Mr Scott is deemed to have a beneficial interest in) 11,758,035 Shares in the Company. Kestrel's other discretionary clients, in which Mr Scott has no beneficial interest, hold a further 4,157,458 Shares in the Company.

Following this transaction and on a combined basis, Kestrel indirectly holds voting rights over 15,915,493 Shares in the Company, which represents approximately 28.48% per cent of the Company's issued share capital.
