PLUS MARKETS GROUP PLC ("PLUS" OR THE "COMPANY")

Response to share price rise

Following the recent share price rise and today's press comment, PLUS Markets Group plc confirms that it has signed a non-binding heads of terms agreement with a third party.

The transaction envisaged by the heads of terms would constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules and consequently PLUS has today requested that its ordinary shares be suspended from trading on AIM.

Shareholders will be advised of all developments in relation to the proposed acquisition and the resumption of trading when such information is available.
