Rothschild & Co and Livingstone announce that Rothschild & Co's Global Advisory
business will acquire Livingstone in the UK, subject to FCA approval.

Livingstone is a successful and long-established business providing M&A, debt
and special situations advice to privately owned companies in the UK lower
mid-market segment. Since its formation in 1976, the team has grown to include
34 bankers who have an outstanding track record and strong client
relationships.

mid-market space for some time, following the establishment of its successful
franchise in the same segment of the French market.

Livingstone in the UK provides a unique opportunity for us to establish a
dedicated UK lower mid-marketteam, a segment of the market that we don't
actively participate in today. We are delighted to welcome the team to
Rothschild & Co".

Alex Midgen, Partner and Co-Head of UK Global Advisory said, "This is an
opportunity to materially grow an already successful UK business through access
to Rothschild & Co's strong sector expertise and global reach via our network
of over 50 offices in more than 40 countries. Through our platform, we will be
helping Livingstone clients who are predominantly UK private and family-owned
companies, entrepreneurs and private equity owned businesses in the lower
mid-marketsegmentto achieve their growth ambitions."

Patrick Groarke, Partner at Livingstone concluded, "Rothschild & Co's
acquisition of Livingstone's UK business is a powerful validation of the
quality of the team that we have built and the strength of our franchise in
this vibrantmarket. We are looking forward to building upon this firm
foundation together with our new colleagues."
