Following the publication of FRS 101, "Application of financial reporting requirements" by the Financial Reporting Council ("FRC"), Hostelworld Group plc ("Hostelworld") is able to elect to prepare its entity financial statements in accordance with FRS 101, a reduced disclosure regime.
Hostelworld proposes to adopt FRS 101, a reduced disclosure regime, for its entity financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 and on an ongoing basis until such time as Hostelworld notifies shareholders of any change to its chosen accounting framework for its entity financial statements.

Any shareholder or shareholders holding in aggregate 5 per cent or more of the total allotted shares in Hostelworld may serve an objection.
