Menzies Distribution secures further contract renewals

Menzies Distribution (Menzies), the newspaper and magazine wholesaling division
of John Menzies plc, is today pleased to confirm that it has successfully
renegotiated contract terms with Frontline and Seymour.

The new agreements, with two of the largest magazine distributors in the UK,
will see Menzies continue to distribute their full portfolios of titles. The
agreement also secures additional revenues for Menzies' diversified businesses.

Both agreements run through to 2020 and secure some £180m of annual trade sales
value.

David McIntosh, Managing Director said,

"I am very pleased to have secured terms with Frontline and Seymour. These
renewals are a further step in underpinning our core business. We now have
contracts with the majority of the major publishing groups secured through to
2019 and this allows us to build for the future with confidence."
