Nasdaq Stockholm AB: The Marketing Group plc receives observation status (94/19)

On March 14, 2019, Nasdaq Stockholm AB (the "Exchange") decided to suspend the
trading of the shares of The Marketing Group plc due to disclosure of inside
information in breach of article 17 of the Market Abuse Regulation (Regulation
(EU) No. 596/2014). 

On March 15, 2019, due to recent substantial changes to, among other things,
the operations of the Company, the Company's Executive Management and Board of
Directors, the Exchange has concluded, based upon an overall assessment, that a
change of identity of the Company has taken place. Therefore, the Exchange has
decided to initiate an examination comparable to that conducted for an entirely
new issuer applying for admission to trading, after which the Exchange will
decide whether to admit continued trading of the Company's shares on First
North Stockholm. Furthermore, the Exchange has found that the Company has
committed a serious breach of the Nasdaq First North Nordic Rulebook (the
"Rulebook"), that the Company does not, at this point, fulfil the applicable
admission requirements as set out in the Rulebook. 

The current rules of First North state that a listed company can be given
observation status if circumstances justifying the removal of the Issuer's
financial instruments from trading on Nasdaq First North pursuant to 6.2.1(a)
or 6.2.2(a), or if the company has been subject to an extensive change in its
business or organization so that the company upon an overall assessment appears
to be an entirely new company. 

With reference to what is stated above, the Exchange has decided that the
shares in The Marketing Group plc (TMG, ISIN code GB00BYZX7449, order book ID
122959) shall be given observation status. 

Please note, that the trading in the Company's shares is halted until further
notice.
