INVESTOR RELATIONS

STM Group Plc (AIM: STM), the cross border financial services provider, is pleased to announce an extension of the six month zero establishment fee initiative for the Group's new QROPS applications following a considerable uplift in average monthly new applications in this period when compared to the average monthly number of new policy applications received in the first four months of the year.

The establishment fee was waived in late April of this year to support STM's drive for new client business. This made STM unique in the market place and provided a compelling reason for intermediaries to use the Group's QROPS product. This benefits STM by continuing to build the Group's recurring revenue streams as each new QROPS client won has an expected fee generating life of 20-25 years. 

The zero establishment fee initiative will now remain in place for all applications received before the 31 March 2017. This is applicable across all of the STM Gibraltar and Malta stand-alone QROPS products, including Australian, US QROPS, Contract QROPS and the QROPS SMART.

Commenting on the agreement to extend the initiative Alan Kentish, Chief Executive Officer of STM, said:

"The significant uplift in average monthly new business since we commenced the zero establishment fee initiative translates into a greater long-term recurring revenue stream for the Group.

"Our focus is to build a durable business with predictable revenue streams and profitability.  This pricing model is proving to be a valuable initiative in this environment and a strategic benefit to enhancing shareholder value."

The information communicated in this announcement is inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation 596/2014.
