Statement re Monitise Content

On 4 March 2016 Monitise plc (LSE: MONI), ("Monitise" or the "Company") announced that it was in very early stage discussions regarding a possible disposal of the Content business (the Markco Media businesses). These discussions have now ceased.

The Content business is performing strongly and, together with the expected growth prospects for the Content business, Monitise has concluded that greater shareholder value can be delivered by retaining the Content business within the Group. The Company was also keen to minimise any ongoing uncertainty within the Content business given its strong performance.

The Company will continue to regularly evaluate all assets within the Monitise group to ensure that long-term shareholder value is maximised.
