Update on Olympic Games Security Contract

G4S notes the announcement today that Ministers have decided to mobilise the
additional 1,200 troops which had previously been put on standby in order to
supplement the security workforce deployment for the Olympic Games.  The
security of the Games is the primary focus and therefore we understand the
decision by Ministers to activate the additional contingency resource as a
further precaution at this stage of the process.

We have made very good progress in the last few days and, in line with the
revised deployment plan submitted to LOCOG, currently have around 5,800 security
personnel deployed at Olympic venues.  Significant numbers of candidates are now
reaching the final stages of the training and accreditation process each day and
we are working hard to ensure that we deliver on the commitments we made to
LOCOG last week.

We are grateful to the military for their support in securing the Olympic and
Paralympic Games and will continue to work with them and LOCOG to ensure that
the Games are safe and secure.

As we have announced previously, G4S has undertaken to cover the additional
costs relating to the military deployment and believes that, including the
deployment of the additional 1,200 troops, the overall losses to be incurred on
the contract will remain within the previously stated estimate of £35m - £50m.
