Change of Auditor

Following a competitive tender process, the Board is pleased to announce that KPMG LLP will be appointed as auditor to the Company with effect from 29 April 2015, subject to approval at the AGM on that date.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the current auditor, will cease to hold office as at that date.

In accordance with section 520 (2) of the Companies Act 2006, the following statement of circumstances has been received from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP under section 519 of the Companies Act 2006.

"Statement of Circumstances connected with ceasing to hold office as Auditors

In accordance with Section 519 of the Companies Act 2006, we set out below the circumstances connected with our ceasing to hold office as auditors of Devro plc, registered no: SC129785 (the "Company") effective from 29 April 2015.

We have not been re-appointed as the Company undertook a tender process for the position of statutory auditor and we were not invited to tender. This is because of our length of tenure and the decision of the Company to follow emerging best practice with regards to auditor rotation. There are no circumstances which we consider should be brought to the notice of the Company's shareholders or creditors."
