Recommended Cash Offer

for

Digital Globe Services, Ltd.

by

The Resource Group International Limited

Summary

-- The Independent Directors and TRGI are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer for DGS by TRGI pursuant to which TRGI will offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of DGS not already owned by TRGI or persons acting in concert with it.

   --      Under the terms of the Offer, Shareholders will be offered: 
   for each DGS Share:          60 pence in cash 

-- The Offer values the entire issued and to be issued share capital of DGS at approximately GBP18.0 million, and represents a premium of approximately:

o 81.8 per cent. to the Closing Price of 33 pence per DGS Share on 20 October 2016, being the last Business Day prior to the date of this Announcement; and

o 32.8 per cent. to the average Closing Price of 45 pence per DGS Share for the three month period to 20 October 2016, being the last Business Day prior to the date of this Announcement.

-- It is proposed that, upon the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, the admission of the DGS Shares to trading on AIM should be cancelled. Accordingly, the DGS Board intends to convene a General Meeting at which a special resolution to approve the Delisting will be proposed. The Offer is conditional upon TRGI receiving valid acceptances under the Offer in respect of such number of DGS Shares as would, together with the DGS Shares in which TRGI is already interested, result in TRGI being interested in more than 75 per cent. (or such lesser percentage as TRGI may decide, but not less than 50 per cent.) of the issued share capital of DGS and upon the passing of the Delisting Resolution at the General Meeting. Subject to the Offer becoming or being declared wholly unconditional on the First Closing Date, it is expected that the Delisting will take place on or around 30 November 2016.

-- The Independent Directors, who have been so advised by Panmure Gordon, consider the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable. In providing advice to the Independent Directors, Panmure Gordon has taken into account the commercial assessments of the Independent Directors. Panmure Gordon is providing independent financial advice to the Independent Directors in connection with the Offer.

-- Accordingly, the Independent Directors intend to recommend unanimously that Shareholders accept the Offer and vote in favour of the Delisting Resolution.

-- As at the date of this Announcement, TRGI Group currently owns 13,858,971 DGS Shares, representing approximately 46.31 per cent. of the issued share capital of DGS (which DGS Shares will not be subject to the Offer).

-- TRGI has received irrevocable undertakings to accept (or procure acceptance of) the Offer from certain institutional Shareholders in respect of a total of 2,445,500 DGS Shares, representing, in aggregate, approximately 8.17 per cent. of DGS's existing issued share capital.

-- TRGI has also received a non-binding letter of intent from AXA Investment Managers UK Limited in its capacity as discretionary investment manager ("AXA IM") which confirms that AXA IM's current intention, which may change, is to accept the Offer and vote in favour of the Delisting Resolution in respect of the 490,000 DGS Shares in which it is interested, representing approximately 1.64 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of DGS.

-- TRGI has agreed with Jeffrey Cox, the Chief Executive Officer of DGS, that he will retain his shareholding in DGS following completion of the Offer. Accordingly, Mr Cox has irrevocably undertaken to TRGI that he will not accept the Offer in respect of the 3,871,836 DGS Shares in which he is interested representing, in aggregate, 12.94 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of DGS.

-- TRGI has received irrevocable undertakings to vote (or procure the vote) in favour of the Delisting Resolution in respect of a total of 6,386,336 DGS Shares, representing, in aggregate, approximately 21.34 per cent. of DGS's existing issued share capital, comprised as follows:

o from certain institutional Shareholders in respect of 2,445,500 DGS Shares, representing, in aggregate, approximately 8.17 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of DGS.

o from Jeffrey Cox in respect of 3,871,836 DGS Shares, representing, in aggregate, approximately 12.94 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of DGS; and

o from David Flowers, a DGS Director, in respect of 69,000 DGS Shares, representing, in aggregate, approximately 0.23 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of DGS.

-- Further details of the Offer will be set out in the Offer Document which will be sent to DGS Shareholders within 28 days of this Announcement.

The Offer will be subject to the Conditions and certain further terms of the Offer set out in Appendix I to this Announcement and to be set out in the Offer Document and the Form of Acceptance. Appendix II contains details of the irrevocable undertakings given to TRGI. Appendix III sets out the source and bases of certain financial and other information contained in this Announcement. Appendix IV contains the definitions of certain terms used in this Announcement.

Shareholders should note that DGS is not a company that is subject to the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers and accordingly, Shareholders will not receive the protections afforded by the City Code other than those afforded by the General Principles of the City Code which the DGS Board has opted to adopt voluntarily in its conduct regarding the Offer.

In particular, the DGS Board has confirmed to TRGI that it does not intend to require the announcements pursuant to Rule 8 of the City Code containing the details of interests or short positions in, or rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of a party to an offer and announcements pursuant to Rule 8 of the City Code containing details of dealings in interests in relevant securities of a party to an offer (as referred to in the City Code) to be made by Shareholders in accordance with Rule 8 of the City Code.

Forward looking statements

This Announcement, oral statements made regarding the Offer, and other information published by TRGI and DGS and the Independent Directors contain statements that are or may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements". These statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on the current expectations of the management of TRGI and/or DGS and/or the Independent Directors about future events and are naturally subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances which could cause actual events to differ materially from the future events expected or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Recommended Cash Offer

for

Digital Globe Services, Ltd.

by

The Resource Group International Limited

   1.       Introduction 

The Independent Directors and TRGI are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer for DGS by TRGI pursuant to which TRGI will offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of DGS not already owned by TRGI or persons acting in concert with it.

   2.       The Offer 

Under the terms of the Offer, which will be subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in Appendix I to this Announcement and to the further terms to be set out in the Offer Document and, in respect of DGS Shares in certificated form, the Form of Acceptance, Shareholders shall be entitled to receive:

   for each DGS Share:              60 pence in cash 

The Offer values the entire issued and to be issued share capital of DGS at approximately GBP18.0 million, and represents a premium of approximately:

-- 81.8 per cent. to the Closing Price of 33 pence per DGS Share on 20 October 2016, being the last Business Day prior to the date of this Announcement; and

-- 32.8 per cent. to the average Closing Price of 45 pence per DGS Share for the three month period to 20 October 2016, being the last Business Day prior to the date of this Announcement.

The Offer will extend to all DGS Shares unconditionally allotted or issued and fully paid on the date of the Offer and any DGS Shares which are unconditionally allotted or issued and fully paid (including pursuant to the exercise of options under the DGS Share Incentive Schemes) whilst the Offer remains open for acceptance or by such earlier date as TRGI may decide, not being earlier than the date on which the Offer becomes unconditional as to acceptances.

DGS Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer will be acquired fully paid and free from all liens, charges, equitable interests, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and any other rights and interests of any nature whatsoever and together with all rights attaching thereto as at and from the date of acquisition, including voting rights and the right to receive and retain in full all dividends and other distributions (if any) declared, made or paid on or after the date that the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects.

Shareholders should note that DGS is a Bermuda registered company and is not subject to the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers and accordingly, Shareholders will not receive the protections afforded by the City Code other than those afforded by the General Principles of the City Code which the DGS Board has opted to adopt voluntarily in its conduct regarding the Offer.

In particular, the DGS Board has confirmed to TRGI that it does not intend to require the announcements pursuant to Rule 8 of the City Code containing the details of interests or short positions in, or rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of a party to an offer and announcements pursuant to Rule 8 of the City Code containing details of dealings in interests in relevant securities of a party to an offer (as referred to in the City Code) to be made by Shareholders in accordance with Rule 8 of the City Code. Shareholders are reminded that public disclosures consistent with the provision of Rule 8.3 of the City Code should not be e-mailed to the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers.

   3.         Recommendation 

The Independent Directors, who have been so advised by Panmure Gordon, consider the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable. In providing advice to the Independent Directors, Panmure Gordon has taken into account the commercial assessments of the Independent Directors. Panmure Gordon is providing independent financial advice to the Independent Directors in respect of the Offer.

Accordingly, the Independent Directors intend to recommend unanimously that Shareholders accept the Offer and vote in favour of the Delisting Resolution.

The Relationship Agreement entered into in connection with the original admission of the DGS Shares to trading on AIM prevents TRGI, without the prior consent of Panmure Gordon, from acquiring an interest in DGS Shares where such interest would mean that the aggregate interest of TRGI and its associates exceeds 75 per cent. of the total voting rights of the share capital of DGS. Panmure Gordon has consented to TRGI acquiring such an interest pursuant to the Offer (including by way of market or other private purchases). The Relationship Agreement terminates upon Delisting.

   4.         Information on TRGI 

TRGI is an investment holding company specialising in enterprise services, business process outsourcing and technology businesses. TRGI is incorporated in Hamilton, Bermuda and has a registered office in Hamilton, Bermuda.

The TRGI executive team has longstanding experience in assisting business process outsourcing companies such as DGS in creating sustainable value over the longer term and TRGI believes it is well placed to assist DGS as it continues to develop and execute its longer-term strategy.

TRGI's portfolio currently includes multiple companies around the world, including DGS, across the business process outsourcing sector. TRGI currently has an interest in 13,858,971 DGS Shares, representing 46.31 per cent. of the issued share capital of DGS (which TRGI Shares are not subject to the Offer).

Opus is acting as financial adviser to TRGI.

   5.         Information on DGS 

DGS is a provider of outsourced customer acquisition solutions principally to large, consumer-facing organisations and to clients offering products or services to business users. With its management team headquartered in Denver, Colorado, DGS has operations in 5 countries, employing more than 700 employees.

In the financial year ended 30 June 2016, DGS achieved turnover of US$47.8m and net loss of US$4.9m

Further information relating to DGS will be contained in the Offer Document.

Panmure Gordon, which is DGS's Nominated Adviser and broker, is acting as independent financial adviser to DGS in connection with the Offer.

   6.         Current trading and prospects of DGS 

In its final results for the year ended 30 June 2016, DGS made the following statement: "In the coming year we look forward to aggressively pursuing our three pillars of growth expanding within the existing client base, extending our business into new geographies and expanding in new, relevant verticals. The company has reacted decisively to align the business to service more effectively its core clients and we continue to invest in technology innovation to capture additional opportunities in other verticals and geographies, especially through the growth of our 7degrees business. We have maintained growth throughout the year and expect to accelerate this momentum in the year ahead".

The Independent Directors do not anticipate DGS paying any dividend or making any other distribution during the Offer Period, but to the extent that it does TRGI will have the right to reduce the Offer Price by the amount of any such dividend or other distribution which is paid or becomes payable by DGS to Shareholders.

   7.         Background to and reasons for the Offer 

DGS, which was originally a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRGI, listed on AIM in February 2013 at a listing price of 159 pence per DGS Share. The purpose of the listing was to provide access to capital and raise the profile of DGS and accelerate the expansion of DGS's business to new geographical markets and industry verticals.

Since listing on AIM, DGS has grown turnover from US$25.5m in the financial year ended 30 June 2013 to US$47.8m in the financial year ended 30 June 2016 while over the same period, Adjusted EBITDA has fallen from US$4.0m in the financial year ended 30 June 2013 to US$2.5m in the financial year ended 30 June 2016 due to gross margin and cost pressures. DGS has also experienced difficult trading conditions in recent years with merger activity amongst its key customers curtailing spending. Consequently, the price of DGS Shares has fallen from 159 pence per share at listing to a Closing Price of 33 pence per DGS Share on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of this Announcement.

TRGI believes that it is likely to take a long period of time with the need for a substantial over-delivery compared to forecast in the financial results and positive trading updates to rebuild the market's confidence in DGS and for the price of the DGS Shares to recover significantly.

TRGI believes that the Offer presents an opportunity for Shareholders to realise a significant premium in cash to the Closing Price of 33 pence per DGS Share on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of this Announcement. Given the concentration of shareholdings amongst a small number of Shareholders and the relatively low liquidity in DGS Shares, TRGI believes that the Offer presents an opportunity for Shareholders to crystallise cash value for their shareholdings in full which is not likely to be achieved in the short to medium term if DGS were to remain independent and listed on AIM.

TRGI sees potential in DGS and believes that it is an excellent partner for DGS during the next phase of its development. It believes that DGS's ability to achieve its future growth potential, both organic and inorganic, will be enhanced under its ownership.

In conclusion, TRGI believes retaining its listing on AIM is of little benefit to DGS and that it imposes significant financial and administrative costs on DGS. Accordingly, it is making the Offer in order to give Shareholders the opportunity to realise a fair value for their DGS Shares in cash.

   8.         Background to and reasons for the Recommendation 

The Independent Directors believe that the Offer presents an opportunity for Shareholders to realise a significant premium in cash to the Closing Price per DGS Share of 33 pence on 20 October 2016 (being the last Business Day prior to the date of this Announcement), as well as a significant premium to the average Closing Price per DGS Share of 45 pence for the three months ended on 20 October 2016.

Given the concentration of shareholdings amongst a small number of Shareholders and relative lack of liquidity in DGS Shares, the Independent Directors believe that the Offer presents an opportunity for Shareholders to crystallise value for their shareholdings which may not be achieved in the short term if DGS were to remain independent and quoted on AIM.

TRGI intends to cancel the admission of the DGS Shares to trading on AIM following completion of the Offer. The Delisting will significantly reduce liquidity and marketability of DGS Shares. Further details of the Delisting Resolution are set out in paragraph 10 of this Announcement. Subject to the Offer becoming or being declared wholly unconditional on the First Closing Date, it is intended that the Delisting will take place on or around 30 November 2016.

Following careful consideration of the above factors, the Independent Directors believe that the Offer Price of 60 pence per DGS Share in cash provides attractive value and certainty to Shareholders.

The Independent Directors are those of the DGS Directors who are fully independent of TRGI, being Simon Lee (Senior Independent Director), David Flowers (non-executive director) and Anthony Watson (non-executive director).

   9.         Arrangements with Jeffrey Cox, CEO of DGS 

TRGI has agreed with Jeffrey Cox, the Chief Executive Officer of DGS, that he will retain his shareholding in DGS following completion of the Offer.

Accordingly, Mr Cox has irrevocably undertaken to TRGI that he will not accept the Offer, and that he will vote in favour of the Delisting Resolution, in respect of the 3,871,836 DGS Shares in which he is interested representing, in aggregate, 12.94 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of DGS. In addition, Mr Cox has undertaken to TRGI that he will not dispose of his DGS Shares for six months from the date when the Offer becomes or is declared wholly unconditional, other than upon Mr Cox's death, in accordance with a court order or with the consent of TRGI.

Mr Cox will continue to work with the DGS Group in accordance with his existing terms of engagement.

   10.        Cancellation of admission to AIM and compulsory acquisition of minority Shareholders 

TRGI believes that having an AIM quotation is of little benefit to DGS and that it imposes significant financial and administrative costs on DGS. Accordingly, it has been agreed that DGS will convene the General Meeting at which a resolution will be proposed to approve the cancellation of the admission of the DGS Shares to trading on AIM in accordance with Rule 41 of the AIM Rules and the bye-laws of DGS.

The Delisting Resolution requires the consent of not less than 75 per cent. of votes cast by Shareholders at the General Meeting, either in person or by proxy. TRGI has received irrevocable undertakings to vote (or procure the vote) in favour of the Delisting Resolution in respect of a total of 6,386,336 DGS Shares, representing, in aggregate, approximately 21.34 per cent. of DGS's existing issued share capital and intends to vote in favour of the Delisting Resolution in respect of the 13,858,971 DGS Shares in which it is interested, representing 46.31 per cent. of DGS's existing issued share capital. Accordingly, TRGI will either itself vote, or has received irrevocable undertakings to vote (or procure the vote of) 20,245,307 DGS Shares, representing 67.65 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of DGS, in favour of the Delisting Resolution. A notice convening the General Meeting at which the Delisting Resolution will be proposed, together with a form of proxy, will be sent to Shareholders with the Offer Document.

If the Delisting Resolution is not passed, but TRGI receives valid acceptances under the Offer in respect of, and/or otherwise acquires, such number of DGS Shares as would, together with the DGS Shares in which TRGI is already interested, result in TRGI being interested in DGS Shares representing, in excess of 75 per cent. of the issued share capital of DGS, then TRGI would seek to procure that the admission of the DGS Shares to trading on AIM is cancelled in accordance with Rule 41 of the AIM Rules as soon as practicable after the Offer has become or is declared wholly unconditional.

In accordance with AIM Rule 41, DGS hereby gives notice of the intended Delisting which, subject to the Delisting Resolution being passed and the Offer becoming or being declared wholly unconditional in all respects, is expected to take place on or around 30 November 2016 (being at least five Business Days after the First Closing Date assuming that the Offer has become or been declared wholly unconditional in all respects) and no earlier than 7:00 a.m. on 17 November 2016.

DGS will provide further details of the Delisting timetable in due course. The Delisting Resolution is conditional upon the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects. If the Conditions of the Offer are not met or waived by TRGI the Delisting will not take place. The Offer will be conditional upon the passing of the Delisting Resolution at the General Meeting (unless such condition is waived by TRGI).

The Delisting will significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of DGS Shares.

If TRGI receives acceptances under the Offer in respect of such number of DGS Shares as would, together with the DGS Shares in which TRGI is already interested, result in TRGI being interested in at least 95% of the issued share capital of DGS, and assuming that all of the other Conditions have been satisfied or waived (if capable of being waived), TRGI would ordinarily, subject to and in accordance with Bermuda law, be entitled to acquire compulsorily the remaining DGS Shares on the same terms as the Offer. However, because Jeffrey Cox has irrevocably undertaken not to accept the Offer in respect of the DGS Shares held by Mr Cox which represent 12.94 per cent. of the DGS Shares in issue, TRGI will not as a result of the Offer acquire a sufficient percentage of the issued DGS Shares to entitle it to effect such compulsory acquisition.

If the Offer becomes or is declared wholly unconditional and Delisting occurs, Shareholders who have not validly accepted the Offer will be shareholders in an unlisted Bermuda registered company with no ready or liquid market for their DGS Shares and no right for their DGS Shares to be compulsorily acquired by TRGI.

   11.      Irrevocable undertakings 

TRGI has received irrevocable undertakings to:

-- accept (or procure acceptance of) the Offer in respect of a total of 2,445,500 DGS Shares, representing, in aggregate, approximately 8.17 per cent. of DGS's existing issued share capital; and

-- vote (or procure the vote) in favour of the Delisting Resolution in respect of a total of 6,386,336 DGS Shares, representing in aggregate, approximately 21.34 per cent. of DGS's existing issued share capital.

Such irrevocable undertakings are comprised as follows:

-- Jeffrey Cox has irrevocably undertaken not to accept the Offer and to retain his holding of DGS Shares, and to vote in favour of the Delisting Resolution, in respect of his entire beneficial holding amounting to, in aggregate, 3,871,836 DGS Shares, representing approximately 12.94 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of DGS. Mr Cox's irrevocable undertaking will continue to be binding even in the event of a higher offer for DGS. In addition, Mr Cox has undertaken to TRGI that he will not dispose of his DGS Shares for six months from the date when the Offer becomes or is declared wholly unconditional, other than upon Mr Cox's death, in accordance with a court order or with the consent of TRGI;

-- certain institutional Shareholders have irrevocably undertaken to accept the Offer and vote in favour of the Delisting Resolution (or in the case of Investec Asset Management Limited, accept the Offer or use reasonable efforts to procure the acceptance of the Offer, and to vote, or use reasonable efforts to procure the vote, in favour of the Delisting Resolution) in respect of 2,445,500 DGS Shares representing, in aggregate, 8.17 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of DGS. Such irrevocables cease to be binding in the event of a higher offer for DGS at a price per DGS Share of 66 pence or greater; and

-- David Flowers, a DGS Director, has irrevocably undertaken to vote in favour of the Delisting Resolution, in respect of his entire beneficial holding amounting to, in aggregate, 69,000 DGS Shares, representing approximately 0.23 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of DGS. As Mr Flowers is resident in the United States, which is a Restricted Jurisdiction into which TRGI does not expect to make the Offer, Mr Flowers has not been asked to give an irrevocable undertaking to accept the Offer in respect of his DGS Shares.

TRGI has also received a non-binding letter of intent from AXA Investment Managers UK Limited in its capacity as discretionary investment manager ("AXA IM") which confirms that AXA IM's current intention, which may change, is to accept the Offer and vote in favour of the Delisting Resolution in respect of the 490,000 DGS Shares in which it is interested, representing approximately 1.64 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of DGS.

The Trustee holds 2,146,649 DGS Shares (representing 7.17 per cent. of the issued share capital of DGS) on trust to be applied in satisfaction of the exercise of options granted under the DGS Share Incentive Schemes. The deed constituting such trust provides that the Trustee may only vote on Shareholder resolutions if directed to do so by DGS. DGS has irrevocably undertaken to TRGI that it will not without TRGI's consent direct that the Trustee may vote on the Delisting Resolution. If, after the date of this Announcement, the Trustee was to provide an irrevocable undertaking to TRGI to vote in favour of the Delisting Resolution in respect of the DGS Shares that it holds, TRGI would consent to DGS directing that the Trustee may vote on the Delisting Resolution for those purposes.

Further details of the irrevocable undertakings received by TRGI are set out in Appendix II to this Announcement.

   12.      Conditions to the Offer 

The Offer will be conditional upon:

-- valid acceptances being received in respect of DGS Shares which, together with the DGS Shares held, acquired or agreed to be acquired before such time(s), will result in the TRGI Group and any person acting in concert with it holding DGS Shares constituting more than 75 per cent. (or such lesser percentage as TRGI may decide, but not less than 50 per cent.) of the voting rights and issued share capital of DGS;

   --             the Delisting Resolution being passed (which may be waived by TRGI); and 

-- fulfilment of the other Conditions listed in Appendix I to this Announcement and to be listed in the Offer Document.

The detailed Conditions (and the extent to which any of these are capable of being waived at the sole discretion of TRGI) are set out in Appendix I and will be set out in full detail in the Offer Document.

   13.      Financing the Offer 

The consideration payable under the Offer will be funded entirely by TRGI from its existing funds, with no requirement for any funding from third party providers of finance.

Opus, financial adviser to TRGI, is satisfied that sufficient resources are available to satisfy in full the cash consideration payable to shareholders under the terms of the Offer. Such cash confirmation is provided on the basis that DGS does not and is not required to issue any DGS Shares to satisfy any requirements of the DGS Share Incentive Schemes and, if so required, such DGS Shares will instead be transferred to option holders under the DGS Share Incentive Schemes from the existing holding of DGS Shares held by the Trustee which are otherwise subject to the Offer.

   14.      Structure of the Offer 

It is intended that the Offer will be implemented by means of a takeover offer.

TRGI reserves the right to effect the Offer by way of a merger, amalgamation or scheme of arrangement under Bermuda law. Any such merger, amalgamation or scheme of arrangement would be implemented on the same terms (subject to appropriate amendment) as the Offer. References to the Offer and the Offer Document in this Announcement shall include, where applicable, any such merger, amalgamation or scheme of arrangement.

The Offer will not extend to DGS Shares held in treasury, save to the extent that such DGS Shares are transferred out of treasury.

   15.      Management, Employees and Strategy 

TRGI holds in very high regard the achievements and expertise of DGS's management and employees. Accordingly, TRGI has given assurances to the Independent Directors that, upon the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, the existing employment rights of all DGS employees will continue to be safeguarded and their accrued rights to benefits protected. TRGI's plans do not involve any material change to the conditions of employment of DGS's employees, nor are there any current plans to change the principal locations of DGS's business or redeploy the fixed assets of DGS. TRGI intends to support the business of the DGS Group in continuing to develop, execute and, if possible, accelerate management's existing short-term and longer-term growth strategies, and may also consider and execute upon alternative growth strategies that are generated or otherwise arise such as acquisitions, financings, and joint ventures.

TRGI holds in very high regard the experience, expertise and guidance of the DGS Board. Accordingly, upon the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, TRGI intends to retain the DGS Board subject to their existing terms of engagement.

The arrangements between TRGI and Jeffrey Cox, the Chief Executive Officer of DGS, are set out in paragraph 9 above.

   16.      DGS Share Option Schemes 

The Offer extends to any DGS Shares which are unconditionally allotted or issued whilst the Offer remains open for acceptance (or by such earlier time(s) and/or date(s) as TRGI may determine) as a result of the exercise of options or other awards granted under the DGS Share Incentive Schemes (subject to any restrictions in respect of the holders of such options, who are resident in a Restricted Jurisdiction).

As soon as practicable after the despatch of the Offer Document, TRGI will make appropriate proposals to participants in the DGS Share Incentive Schemes (subject to any restrictions in respect of the holders of such options, who are resident in a Restricted Jurisdiction).

To the extent that options granted under the DGS Incentive Schemes have an exercise price above the Offer Price, TRGI will not make an offer equivalent to the Offer to the holders of such options.

Participants in the DGS Share Incentive Schemes will receive further details on the effect of the Offer on their outstanding options in the separate letters which will be despatched to them by DGS in due course.

   17.      Disclosure of interests in relevant securities 

As at the close of business on 20 October 2016, being the latest practicable date before this Announcement, TRGI and parties acting in concert with TRGI had the following interests in DGS Shares:

 
  Name            Nature of Interest      DGS Shares    Percentage of 
                                                         issued DGS Shares 
  TRGI            Owner of DGS Shares     13,858,971                46.31% 
 
  Jeffrey Cox     Owner of DGS Shares      3,871,836                12.94% 
 

Save for the DGS Shares referred to in the table above, neither TRGI, nor any of TRGI's directors, nor any member of the TRGI Group, nor so far as they are aware, any person acting in concert with TRGI, owns or controls or has any interests in securities in any DGS Shares (including pursuant to any long exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the prices of securities) or any rights to subscribe for or purchase or any option to acquire or any obligation to take delivery of, any DGS Shares or has entered into any derivatives referenced to DGS Shares or which result in that person holding a long position in securities related to DGS Shares ("Relevant DGS Securities") which remain outstanding, nor does any such person hold any short positions in relation to Relevant DGS Securities (whether conditional or absolute and whether in the money or otherwise) including any short position under a derivative, any agreement to sell or any delivery obligation or right to require another person to purchase Relevant DGS Securities. Neither TRGI nor, so far as it is aware, any person acting in concert with TRGI, is a party in relation to any arrangement in respect of any Relevant DGS Securities other than as described therein. For these purposes an "arrangement" includes any indemnity or option arrangement and any agreement or understanding, formal or informal, of whatever nature, relating to Relevant DGS Securities which may be an inducement to deal or refrain from dealing in such securities. Neither TRGI nor, so far as it is aware, any person acting in concert with TRGI, has borrowed or lent any Relevant DGS Securities.

   18.      Expected timetable for posting of the Offer Document 

TRGI intends that the Offer Document, containing further information about the Offer, the terms and conditions of the Offer and a notice convening the General Meeting, together with a form of proxy for use at the General Meeting, will be published within 28 days of this Announcement and will be made available on DGS's website at www.dgsworld.com and TRGI's website at www.trgworld.com/DGSoffer.

Opus Corporate Finance LLP, which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority, is acting exclusively for TRGI and no one else in connection with the Offer and will not be responsible to anyone other than TRGI for providing the protections afforded to its clients or for providing advice in relation to the Offer or any other matters referred to herein.

Forward looking statements

This Announcement, oral statements made regarding the Offer, and other information published by TRGI and DGS and the Independent Directors contain statements that are or may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements". These statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on the current expectations of the management of TRGI and/or DGS and/or the Independent Directors about future events and are naturally subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances which could cause actual events to differ materially from the future events expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein include statements about the expected effects of the Offer on TRGI and/or DGS, the expected timing and scope of the Offer, synergies, other strategic options and all other statements in this Offer Document other than historical facts. Forward looking statements may (but will not always) include, without limitation, statements typically containing words such as "targets", "plans", "aims", "intends", "expects", "anticipates", "believes" "estimates", "will", "may", "budget", "forecasts" and "should" and words or terms of similar import. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and have not been reviewed by the auditors of TRGI or DGS. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the satisfaction of the Conditions to the Offer, as well as additional factors, such as changes in economic conditions, changes in the level of capital investment, success of business and operating initiatives and restructuring objectives, customers' strategies and stability, changes in the regulatory environment, fluctuations in interest and exchange rates, the outcome of litigation, government actions and natural phenomena such as floods, earthquakes and hurricanes. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and none of TRGI, any member of the TRGI Group, nor DGS, any member of the DGS Group, nor the DGS Directors or TRGI Directors, nor any of their respective advisers, associates, directors or officers undertakes any obligation to update publicly, expressly disclaim or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required, or provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of events expressed or implied in any forward looking statement in this Announcement will actually occur.

No statement in this Announcement is intended as a profit forecast or estimate for any period and no statement in this Announcement should be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share for DGS for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or earnings per share for DGS.

Overseas Shareholders

The Offer will not be made, directly or indirectly, in or into, or by use of the mails, or by any means or instrumentality (including, without limitation, by means of telephone, facsimile, telex, internet or other forms of electronic communication) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or any facilities of a securities exchange of, the United States, Canada, Australia or Japan or any other Restricted Jurisdiction, and the Offer will not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facility or from within the United States, Canada, Australia or Japan or any other Restricted Jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this announcement and any other related document will not be, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise distributed or sent in or into the United States, Canada, Australia or Japan or any other Restricted Jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not distribute or send them in, into or from such jurisdictions as doing so may violate the laws of such jurisdictions and may make invalid any purported acceptance of the Offer by persons in any such Restricted Jurisdiction.

This announcement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with English law, the AIM Rules and the rules of the London Stock Exchange, and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside the UK.

Neither the content of DGS's nor TRGI's websites nor the content of any websites accessible from hyperlinks on such websites (or any other websites) are incorporated into, or form part of, this Announcement nor, unless previously published by means of a recognised information service, should any such content be relied upon in reaching a decision regarding the matters referred to in this Announcement.

That inside information is set out in this Announcement and has been disclosed as soon as possible in accordance with paragraph 7 of article 17 of MAR.

For the purposes of this Condition:

(ii) require, prevent or materially delay the divestiture or materially alter the terms envisaged for any proposed divestiture by any member of the DGS Group of all or any material portion of their respective businesses, assets or property, or (to an extent which is material in the context of the Offer or the DGS Group taken as a whole) impose any limit on the ability of any of them to conduct their respective businesses (or any of them) or to own or control any of their respective assets or properties or any part thereof;

(iv) save pursuant to the Offer, require any member of the TRGI Group and/or any member of the DGS Group to acquire or offer to acquire or repay any shares or other securities in and/or indebtedness of any member of the DGS Group owned by or owed to any Third Party in circumstances which would impose on any member of the TRGI Group or any member of the DGS Group a liability which is material in the context of the DGS Group taken as a whole;

PART 2: CERTAIN FURTHER TERMS OF THE OFFER

1. The Offer will lapse, and will not proceed, if there is a Phase II CMA Reference or if Phase 2 European Commission proceedings are initiated or if, following a referral of the Offer by the European Commission under Article 9(1) of the European Council Merger Regulation to a competent authority in the United Kingdom, there is a Phase II CMA Reference, in any such case before 1.00 p.m. on the First Closing Date or the time and date at which the Offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional (whichever is the later).

In such circumstances, the Offer will cease to become capable of further acceptance and accepting Shareholders and TRGI shall cease to be bound by acceptances delivered on or before the date on which the Offer so lapses.

2. TRGI reserves the right to waive all or any of the Conditions in paragraphs (a) to (i) (inclusive) of Part 1, in whole or in part, at its absolute discretion.

3. TRGI shall be under no obligation to waive or treat as fulfilled any of the Conditions in Part 1 by a date earlier than the latest date specified below for the fulfilment of them notwithstanding that the other Conditions may at such earlier date have been waived or fulfilled and that there are at such earlier date no circumstances indicating that any of such Conditions may not be capable of fulfilment.

4. The Offer will lapse unless all Conditions to the Offer are fulfilled or (if capable of waiver) waived or, where appropriate, have been determined by TRGI to have been or remain satisfied by midnight (London time) on the date which is 21 days after the later of the First Closing Date and the date on which the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional (or such later date (if any) as TRGI may decide).

5. The DGS Shares will be acquired by TRGI fully paid and free from all liens, charges, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and any other third party rights of any nature whatsoever and together with all rights attaching to them as at the date of this announcement or subsequently attaching or accruing to them, including, without limitation, voting rights and the right to receive and retain, in full, all dividends and other distributions (if any) declared, made or paid, or any other return of capital (whether by way of reduction of share capital or share premium account or otherwise) made on or after the date of this announcement. Accordingly, insofar as a dividend and/or distribution and/or a return of capital is proposed, declared, made, paid or payable by DGS in respect of a DGS Share on or after the date of this Announcement, TRGI reserves the right to reduce by the amount of the dividend and/or distribution and/or return of capital, the price payable under the Offer in respect of a DGS Share, except insofar as the DGS Share is or will be transferred pursuant to the Offer on a basis which entitles TRGI alone to receive the dividend and/or distribution and/or return of capital but if that reduction in price has not been effected, the person to whom the Offer Price is paid in respect of that DGS Share, will be obliged to account to TRGI for the amount of such dividend and/or distribution and/or return of capital.

TRGI has received irrevocable undertakings to vote (or procure the vote) in favour of the Delisting Resolution in respect of a total of 6,386,336 DGS Shares, representing, in aggregate, approximately 21.34 per cent. of DGS's existing issued share capital, comprised as follows.

 Total                        2,445,500       8.17% 
 

The irrevocable undertakings given by Jeffrey Cox and David Flowers continue to be binding in the event of a higher third party offer for DGS.

The irrevocable undertakings given by Investec Asset Management Limited and Unicorn Asset Management Limited will lapse upon the announcement by a third party of its firm intention to make an alternative offer at a price which is at or above 66 pence per DGS Share.

All irrevocable undertakings cease to be binding:

   (a)        if the Offer Document is not posted within 28 days of the date of this Announcement; 
   (b)        if the Offer lapses or is withdrawn; or 

(c) in any event, on 31 January 2017 (10 December 2016 in the case of the undertaking given by Investec Asset Management Limited).

Investec Asset Management Limited acts as asset manager for its underlying clients in respect of the 1,995,500 DGS Shares referred to above, and does not have legal or beneficial ownership of such DGS Shares or control them. Investec Asset Management Limited has irrevocably undertaken to accept the Offer or use reasonable efforts to procure acceptance of the Offer in respect of such DGS Shares, and to exercise, or use reasonable efforts to procure the exercise of all the voting rights attaching to the DGS Shares in favour of the Delisting Resolution.

Other than Jeffrey Cox and David Flowers, no DGS Director holds any issued DGS Shares. As Mr Flowers is resident in the United States, which is a Restricted Jurisdiction into which TRGI does not expect to make the Offer, Mr Flowers has not been asked to give an irrevocable undertaking to accept the Offer in respect of his DGS Shares.

TRGI has also received a non-binding letter of intent from AXA Investment Managers UK Limited in its capacity as discretionary investment manager ("AXA IM") which confirms that AXA IM's current intention, which may change, is to accept the Offer and vote in favour of the Delisting Resolution in respect of the 490,000 DGS Shares in which it is interested, representing approximately 1.64 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of DGS.

The Trustee holds 2,146,649 DGS Shares (representing 7.17 per cent. of the issued share capital of DGS) on trust to be applied in satisfaction of the exercise of options granted under the DGS Share Incentive Schemes. The deed constituting such trust provides that the Trustee may only vote on Shareholder resolutions if directed to do so by DGS. DGS has irrevocably undertaken to TRGI that it will not without TRGI's consent direct that the Trustee may vote on the Delisting Resolution. If, after the date of this Announcement, the Trustee was to provide an irrevocable undertaking to TRGI to vote in favour of the Delisting Resolution in respect of the DGS Shares that it holds, TRGI would consent to DGS directing that the Trustee may vote on the Delisting Resolution for those purposes.
