John Laing Environmental Assets Group Limited

Proposed Issuance Programme, Publication of Circular

and Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

The Board of John Laing Environmental Assets Group Limited ("JLEN" or the "Company") today announces the Company's intention to launch a share issuance programme for up to 200 million New Ordinary Shares (the "Issuance Programme"). Issues under the Issuance Programme may be undertaken by way of a placing, an offer for subscription and/or an intermediaries offer (or any combination thereof). A prospectus relating to the Issuance Programme is expected to be published before the end of February 2018.

The net proceeds of each Issue undertaken pursuant to the Issuance Programme will be used to repay amounts drawn under the Facility and/or to fund acquisition opportunities in accordance with the Company's investment policy, subject to the circumstances at the time of each Issue.

The New Ordinary Shares issued under the Issuance Programme will be offered on a non-pre-emptive basis and so the Company has today published and posted to Shareholders a circular (the "Circular") convening an extraordinary general meeting to seek Shareholder approval for the disapplication of the pre-emption rights contained in the Articles by way of a special resolution (the "General Meeting"). The General Meeting will be held at Sarnia House, Le Truchot, St Peter Port, Guernsey, at 10.30 a.m. on 2 March 2018.

The Circular will shortly be available on the Company's website at www.jlen.com and on the National Storage Mechanism at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM. The Circular will also be made available at the Company's offices at Sarnia House, Le Truchot, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 1GR.

Terms used in this announcement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, bear the meanings given to them in the Circular
