("Arria NLG" or the "Company")

Grant of 5(th) US Patent

Arria NLG plc (AIM:NLG), a technology leader in Natural Language Generation ("NLG"), is pleased to announce that it has received notice from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that its application for a patent on its Method and Apparatus for Situational Analysis Text Generation will be granted. Arria NLG's Chief Scientist, Prof. Ehud Reiter, led a team that created this important new feature of the Arria NLG Engine(TM).

The new patent is a continuation of the US patent application that resulted in US Patent No. 8,762,134, bearing the same title. (See Arria NLG's announcement of 24 June 2014.) The new patent claims additional innovations disclosed, but not claimed in US Patent No. 8,762,134.

Arria NLG's patents and patent applications cover critical NLG processes that the Company currently applies to innovative applications delivered to its growing list of global clients, as well as to a range of SaaS-delivered packaged applications that are in development for a number of markets and to the Company's proprietary Software Development Toolkit. Arria NLG's expanding patent portfolio strengthens its plan to become the global leader in automating data analysis and information delivery in any industrial or consumer setting.

Stuart Rogers, Chairman and Chief Executive of Arria NLG, stated: "Arria NLG continues to seek US patents on its key innovations in natural language generation. Our scientists' deep experience of the technology over the last 30 years informs and guides a rigorous process of identifying and defining the central component capabilities that will become standard elements in every advanced NLG system. Their foundational work brings a constant stream of potentially patentable innovations that are intended in the first instance to support the Company's sales to enterprise clients as well as its forthcoming software toolkit and SaaS product offerings, but also could be licensed to others who want to be at the forefront of this technology."

This fifth US patent to be granted to Arria NLG reflects the tenacity with which the Company prosecutes its patent applications, seeking to achieve the maximum number of claim allowances through original filings and continuations, thus building greater long-term value for shareholders."
