LAMPRELL PLC
("Lamprell" and with its subsidiaries the "Group")

DIRECTOR RETIREMENT

Lamprell (ticker: LAM), a leading provider of diversified fabrication, engineering and contracting services to the onshore and offshore oil & gas and renewable energy industries, announces that Peter Whitbread, non-executive director, will be retiring with immediate effect.  Accordingly, Mr Whitbread will not be standing for re-election at today's Annual General Meeting.

John Kennedy, Chairman, Lamprell, said:

"It is with regret that Peter Whitbread has informed the Company of his intention to leave the Group for personal reasons. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Peter for his significant contribution to the Group since re-joining the Group in October 2012.  Peter originally joined Lamprell in 1992 and was the architect of the Company that Lamprell finds itself today. After a career of approximately 18 years, Peter chose to retire having built and positioned Lamprell into a significant offshore contractor.  When Peter re-joined the Company, he was instrumental in the recovery process at that difficult time and we have greatly benefited from his wealth of experience and industry-wide expertise.  On a personal level, I wish to thank him for his commitment and counsel.  The Board wishes him all the best for the future and I know that our major shareholder, Steven Lamprell, is especially appreciative of his efforts and input since 1992."
