NOT INTENDED TO PROMOTE THE SALE OF ANY SECURITIES, AND NOT FOR PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES (INCLUDING ITS TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS, ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA), AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE IT IS UNLAWFUL TO DISTRIBUTE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT OR ANY COPY OF IT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

16 April 2014

Cambian Group plc

Admission to trading on the London Stock Exchange

Further to its announcements on 16 April 2014 relating to its initial public offering (the "Offer"), Cambian Group plc ("Cambian" or the "Company"), one of the UK's leading providers of specialist behavioural health services, is pleased to announce that its entire issued ordinary share capital of 172,335,110 ordinary shares (the "Shares") has today been admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities under the ticker "CMBN".

Further information:

Cambian was founded in 2004 and has grown to become a significant partner to the UK Government. The Group includes the businesses of Cambian Healthcare, Cambian Education, Care Aspirations (trading as Cambian Learning Disabilities) and Advanced Childcare. The Group's services have a specific focus on individuals who present high severity needs with challenging behaviours and complex care requirements. Cambian employs approximately 6,000 people across a UK-wide portfolio of 249 purpose-designed facilities, comprising 23 schools, 35 hospitals, 188 specialist homes / day facilities and 3 fostering offices. Further information is available at: http://www.cambiangroup.com/

As at the date of this announcement, Care Aspirations II LLC, Advanced Childcare LLC and Cambian Holdings LLC (together "GI Partners") are, in aggregate, interested in Shares carrying approximately 45.7 per cent of the voting rights of the Company. Subject to certain limits, the Company has authority to purchase its Shares which authority is due to expire at the conclusion of the Company's next annual general meeting. If this buyback authority were to be used in full and this does not involve any Shares held by GI Partners being purchased by the Company, it could result in GI Partners' aggregate voting interests in the Company increasing to approximately 53.8 per cent. Whilst the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers will presume GI Partners to be acting in concert for the purpose of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"), it has confirmed to the Company, on an ex parte basis, that any increase in GI Partners' voting interests in the Company which results from the use of the authority referred to above will not have any consequences under Rule 9 the Code (which relates to mandatory offers and their terms). In the event that GI Partners' voting interests in the Company come to exceed 50 per cent of the voting rights of the Company in this way, GI Partners would potentially be able to acquire further interests in Shares without incurring any obligation under Rule 9 of the Code to make a general offer for the Company.

This announcement does not constitute a recommendation concerning the Offer. The price and value of securities and any income from them can go down as well as up. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Before purchasing any Shares, persons viewing this announcement should ensure that they fully understand and accept the risks that will be set out in the Prospectus. Information in this announcement or any of the documents relating to the Offer cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance. There is no guarantee that Admission will occur and you should not base your financial decisions on Cambian's intentions in relation to Admission at this stage. Potential investors should consult a professional advisor as to the suitability of the Offer for the entity concerned.

J.P. Morgan Cazenove, which is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority ("PRA") and regulated by the FCA and the PRA in the United Kingdom, and Numis, Canaccord Genuity and Rothschild each of which are authorised and regulated by the FCA in the United Kingdom are acting exclusively for Cambian and no-one else in connection with the Offer. They will not regard any other person as their respective clients in relation to the Offer and will not be responsible to anyone other than Cambian for providing the protections afforded to their respective clients, nor for providing advice in relation to the Offer, the contents of this announcement or any transaction, arrangement or other matter referred to herein.

In connection with the Offer, each of J.P. Morgan Cazenove, Numis, Canaccord Genuity and Rothschild and any of their respective affiliates, acting as investors for their own accounts, may subscribe for or purchase Shares and in that capacity may retain, purchase, sell, offer to sell or otherwise deal for their own accounts in such Shares and other securities of Cambian or related investments in connection with the Offer or otherwise. Accordingly, references in the Prospectus, to the Shares being issued, offered, subscribed, acquired, placed or otherwise dealt in should be read as including any issue or offer to, or subscription, acquisition, placing or dealing by, J.P. Morgan Cazenove, Numis, Canaccord Genuity and Rothschild or any of their respective affiliates acting as investors for their own accounts. J.P. Morgan Cazenove, Numis, Canaccord Genuity and Rothschild and their respective affiliates do not intend to disclose the extent of any such investment or transactions otherwise than in accordance with any legal or regulatory obligations to do so.

Apart from the responsibilities and liabilities, if any, which may be imposed on any of J.P. Morgan Cazenove, Numis, Canaccord Genuity or Rothschild by the FSMA or the regulatory regime established thereunder, or under the regulatory regime of any jurisdiction where exclusion of liability under the relevant regulatory regime would be illegal, void or unenforceable, none of J.P. Morgan Cazenove, Numis, Canaccord Genuity, Rothschild or any of their respective affiliates accepts any responsibility whatsoever for, or makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the contents of this document or for any other statement made or purported to be made by it, or on its behalf, in connection with the Company, the Shares or the Offer and nothing in this announcement will be relied upon as a promise or representation in this respect, whether or not to the past or future. Each of J.P. Morgan Cazenove, Numis, Canaccord Genuity and Rothschild and their respective affiliates accordingly disclaims all and any responsibility or liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise (save as referred to above), which it might otherwise have in respect of this announcement or any such statement.

In connection with the Offer, a stabilising manager, or any of its agents, may (but will be under no obligation to), to the extent permitted by applicable law, overallot Shares or effect other transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Shares at a higher level than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The stabilising manager will not be required to enter into such transactions and such transactions may be effected on any stock market, over-the-counter market, stock exchange or otherwise and may be undertaken at any time during the period commencing on the date of the commencement of conditional dealings of the Shares on the London Stock Exchange and ending no later than 30 calendar days thereafter. However, there will be no obligation on the stabilising manager or any of its agents to effect stabilising transactions and there is no assurance that stabilising transactions will be undertaken. Such stabilising measures, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time without prior notice. In no event will measures be taken to stabilise the market price of the Shares above the offer price. Save as required by law or regulation, neither the stabilising manager nor any of its agents intends to disclose the extent of any over-allotments made and/or stabilisation transactions conducted in relation to the Offer.

Certain figures contained in this document, including financial information, have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, in certain instances, the sum or percentage change of the numbers contained in this document may not conform exactly with the total figure given.
