Media speculation in respect of Cazoo
DMGT notes the recent media speculation regarding Cazoo and Cazoo's statement that "As one of the UK's fastest growing businesses, with revenues of over £160m in our first year alone, it is not surprising that there is speculation around whether or when we might IPO but we do not comment on speculation and should we have an announcement to make on this or any other matter we shall do so at the appropriate time." As a result, at this time there can be no certainty of any specific outcome for DMGT shareholders.
DMGT owns a c. 20% stake in Cazoo, which is accounted for as an investment.
DMGT will make a further announcement if appropriate.
