United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)

U.S. Disclaimer – Unsponsored ADR (American Depository Receipt)

An ADR is a negotiable receipt, similar to a stock certificate, which is issued by a U.S. bank or depository to evidence an ordinary share of a non-U.S. issuer that has been deposited with the U.S. bank or depository. ADRs permit a U.S. investor to purchase in the U.S. market an interest in a non-U.S. issuer’s securities. An ADR program which is unsponsored is set up without the non-U.S. issuer’s cooperation or even its consent (a so called “Unsponsored ADR”). John Wood Group PLC (the “Company”) does not support or encourage the creation of Unsponsored ADR programs in respect of its securities and in any event disclaims any liability in connection with an Unsponsored ADR. The Company does not represent to any depository institution, bank or anyone nor should any such entity/person rely on a belief that the website of the Company includes all published information in English, currently, and on an ongoing basis, required to claim an exemption under Exchange Act Rule 12g3-2(b).

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)

John Wood Group PLC (“Wood”) is exempt from Exchange Act reporting and registration requirements under Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act.

The Material Non-US Disclosure Documents required to satisfy the exemption include all documents Wood has made public via its website, all documents lodged or filed with a regulatory authority in the UK (for example Companies House) and all documents it has distributed to its shareholders. Documents are freely accessible and not subject to password protection.
