Rigby Group Acquires Norwich International Airport

Rigby Group Plc has today announced the acquisition of Norwich International Airport from
Omniport for an undisclosed sum.

Norwich International Airport is the principal aerial gateway to and from East Anglia, serving
Norfolk, Suffolk, and East Cambridgeshire. It has a long history and sound levels of activity on
scheduled and charter passenger activities, as an aircraft maintenance base and an operating
hub for the southern North Sea oil and gas industry.

The facility will now be managed by Rigby Group’s airport division Regional & City Airports
(RCA), which also already owns and operates Coventry and Exeter Airports – which it acquired
in 2010 and 2013 respectively.

The company also holds management contracts for both Blackpool International Airport and
City of Derry Airport and is actively building its portfolio of owned or managed airport assets
across the next five years.

Chairman and Chief Executive Sir Peter Rigby said: “We have continually reiterated our belief
in the importance of regional airports to local and regional communities and their economies.
We are intent on developing our aviation business within the Rigby Group, and have made
another significant acquisition here. I am delighted to welcome Norwich’s staff to a workforce
that now safeguards approximately 650 aviation jobs, and look forward to working with them
as we plot out a secure, sustainable and positive future for the facility.”

The move will see the management teams at Norwich, Coventry and Exeter work together for
mutual benefit as well as attracting more corporate and general aviation.

Norwich International Airport CEO Andrew Bell added: “This is a significant and very positive
day for the Airport. As a highly respected and stable organisation, Rigby Group’s involvement
will enable us to build on the many achievements of recent years, safeguarding the future of
the business and providing us with a platform from which to build an even more prosperous
future for the Airport itself and the region.”
