Revision to timetable for recommended Proposal

London, UK, 11 April, 2014- On 26 February 2014, Lombard Medical (AIM: LMT), the specialist medical device company focused on Endovascular Aortic Repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms, announced that it had published a circular (the "Circular") which set out the Board of Directors' recommendations to, inter alia, reorganise the Lombard Medical Technologies Group pursuant to a Court approved scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme") so that Lombard Medical becomes a directly-owned subsidiary of Lombard Medical, Inc ("LM, Inc").

On 18 March 2014, the Company announced that the Court Meeting held on that day approved the proposed Scheme as well as a revision to the indicative timetable published in the Circular.

Today, Lombard Medical announces a further revision to the indicative timetable published in the Circular, as a result of the timetable of the IPO of LM, Inc shares on the NASDAQ Global Market being extended due to current adverse US stock market conditions. Consequently, shares in Lombard Medical will not be suspended today.

The Court Hearing will be held on 14 April 2014 when the Company will update the Court and seek an adjournment.

The revised timetable is currently being finalised and the Company will notify shareholders of the revised timetable together with details of any adjourned Court Hearing in due course through a Regulatory Information Service and by notice on the Company's website.

This press release and the information it contains is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States. This press release is not intended to, and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities referred to herein in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration, exemption from registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

About Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms ("AAA")

AAAs are a balloon-like enlargement of the aorta which, if left untreated, may rupture and cause death. Approximately 4.5 million people are living with AAAs in the developed world and each year over 500,000 new cases are diagnosed. In the US, aortic aneurysm disease is among the leading causes of death and it is estimated that 1.7 million people over the age of 55 have an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
