MARWYN VALUE INVESTORS LIMITED (THE "COMPANY")

UPDATE TO SHARE BUYBACK SCHEME

Further to the announcement made on 14 September 2018, detailing the commencement of a share re-purchase programme managed by Liberum Capital Limited ("Liberum"), the Company announces that Liberum has been authorised to re-purchase the Company's ordinary shares (the "Ordinary Shares") on a daily basis in excess of 25 per cent. of the average daily traded volume of the Ordinary Shares.

PURCHASE OF ORDINARY SHARES

The Company announces that Liberum as broker, on behalf of Marwyn Value Investors L.P. (the "Master Fund"), has purchased 26,309 of the Company's Ordinary Shares (the "Purchased Shares").

Date of transaction:	22 October 2018
Average price paid per Ordinary Share:	123.0000 pence
Lowest price paid per Ordinary Share:	123.0000 pence
Highest price paid per Ordinary Share:	123.0000 pence

The total number of the Company's Ordinary Shares owned by, or on behalf of, the Master Fund is 176,273. The Company has been informed that the Master Fund intends to utilise the Exchange Procedure (as defined and described in the Company's prospectus dated 19 October 2016) in respect of the Purchased Shares such that the Purchased Shares will, in due course, be cancelled.

Until the Exchange Procedure is utilised in respect of the Purchased Shares, the total number of voting rights in the Company remains as 77,492,557, comprised of 70,771,826 Ordinary Shares and 6,720,731 Realisation Shares, each carrying one vote per share. These figures should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interests in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

For the purposes of the weekly estimated net asset value per Ordinary Share reporting, the Company will treat the Purchased Shares and any other Ordinary Shares held by, or on behalf of the Master Fund as already cancelled.
