NewRiver Retail Limited

("NewRiver" or the "Company")

Result of Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") and Total Voting Rights

The Directors of NewRiver Retail Limited are pleased to announce that at its EGM held on Tuesday 18 February 2014 all the proposed resolutions, as set out in the EGM notice despatched to shareholders on 28 January 2014, were passed. Full details of the voting results are available on the Company's website at www.nrr.co.uk.

Accordingly, the Company has applied to the London Stock Exchange for 32,075,472 new ordinary shares of no par value each (the "Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will occur at 8.00am on 21 February 2014. The Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in the capital of the Company then in issue, although, as announced previously, they will not be eligible for the special interim dividend of 10 pence per ordinary share announced on 28 January 2014 and payable on 28 March 2014 to shareholders on the Company's register of members at the close of business on 18 February 2014.      

Following Admission, NewRiver's share capital will consist of 100,002,507 ordinary shares of no par value each, of which 624,000 are held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company, excluding treasury shares, is therefore 99,378,507.  

The above figure (99,378,507) may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, NewRiver under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
