RESULT OF RUMP PLACEMENT

Following the announcement earlier today regarding valid acceptances under the fully underwritten Rights Issue announced by Assura on 23 November 2011, the Company now announces that Investec and Cenkos have informed the Company that it has not been possible to procure subscribers in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement for the 22,439,401 New Assura Shares for which valid acceptances were not received at a price which exceeds the aggregate of the Issue Price and related expenses of procuring such subscribers (including any value added tax thereon).

Accordingly, the Underwriter and sub-underwriters will be subscribing for the remaining 22,439,401 New Assura Shares, representing approximately 19.1 per cent. of the total number of New Assura Shares offered to Shareholders, at the Issue Price of 30 pence per share.

The Underwriter intends to manage its own positions in an orderly manner.
