RESTATEMENT OF HEADLINE EARNINGS AND HEADLINE EARNINGS PER SHARE FOR
THE SIX MONTHS TO 31ST MARCH 2014

Marshall shareholders (“Shareholders”) are referred to the announcement published on 4 March
2015 wherein they were notified inter alia, of the restatement of headline earnings and headline
earnings per share for the year ended 30 September 2013 and a change to the previously
published headline earnings and headline earnings per share for the year ended 30 September
2014. These changes arose as the reconciling line item “Reclassification of previously recognised
gains on disposal of available for sale investments” included in the headline earnings calculation
was incorrectly disclosed. The original adjustment was presented as an add-back to basic
earnings but should have been presented as a deduction from basic earnings.

Shareholders are advised that the incorrect disclosure was also presented in the unaudited
results for the six months to 31 March 2014 (“Interim Results”). The amended disclosure of this
line item and the impact thereof in comparison to the Interim Results is set out below. This
information is provided in advance of the results for the six months to 31 March 2015, which are
expected to be published by mid-June 2015.
