DOVRE GROUP SELLS ITS CONSULTING BUSINESS IN SWEDEN

Dovre Group Plc's fully-owned Swedish subsidiary Dovre Group AB has signed
today, November 5, 2015, an agreement to sell its IT consulting business in
Sweden to Visuell Planering och Praktisk PPM AB, a Swedish privately owned
company. Three Dovre Group AB's employees and all customer contracts will be
transferred to the buyer effective immediately. 

“The transaction is good news for our staff and clients in Sweden,” comments
Patrick von Essen, CEO of Dovre Group Plc and Dovre Group AB. “The new combined
team is stronger, and will be able to support clients better than before.” 

The parties have agreed not to disclose the value of the transaction. As a
consequence of the transaction, part of the goodwill of the Group's Consulting
segment will be allocated against the purchase price and the Group will record
a non-recurring, primarily non-cash item totaling approx. EUR 0.4 million in
the fourth quarter. The item recorded does not affect Dovre Group's guidance
for 2015, published on October 1, 2015.
