            RESULT OF INSTITUTIONAL PLACING AND POSTING OF CIRCULAR

Dublin, Ireland - EcoSecurities Group plc ("EcoSecurities") is pleased to
announce the successful completion of the institutional placing announced on 22
June 2007 (the "Institutional Placing"). A total of €107.9 million (£72.6
million), representing 10,177,275 new ordinary shares (the "New Ordinary
Shares") and 9,433,100 existing ordinary shares (the "Sale Shares") of €0.0025
each in the capital of EcoSecurities (collectively, the "Placing Shares"), has
been placed by Hoare Govett Limited with institutions at a price of 370 pence
per share, raising approximately €56.0 million (£37.7 million) for the Company
(before commissions and expenses).

The New Ordinary Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank pari
passu in all respects with EcoSecurities' existing ordinary shares of €0.0025
each, including the right to receive all future dividends and other
distributions declared after the date of issue.

The Institutional Placing is conditional, inter alia, on approval by
EcoSecurities' shareholders of the resolutions (the "Resolutions") set out in
the notice convening an extraordinary general meeting of EcoSecurities to be
held on 26 July 2007 (the "EGM") and admission of the New Ordinary Shares to the
AIM market of the London Stock Exchange plc ("AIM").

A circular will be posted later today to EcoSecurities' shareholders seeking
approval of the Resolutions at the EGM. Application will be made for the New
Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected
that Admission will become effective (pursuant to Rule 6 of the AIM Rules for
Companies) and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence, and settlement
of the Placing Shares will occur, on 27 July 2007.

The Sale Shares include ordinary shares of certain directors and significant
shareholders which fall to be disclosed in accordance with Rule 17 of the AIM
Rules for Companies. This disclosure is made by way of an update to the
disclosure made on 22 June 2007.

(1)    These shares are held by Mellon Nominees in favour of Polar Sky
Corporation, which is owned by First Island Trustees Limited and which is
holding the shares of Polar Sky Corporation on a discretionary trust for Pedro
Moura Costa and members of his family.

(2)    Bruce Usher owns one third of the shares in Angel Capital Group ("ACG")
and ACG in turn owns 282,467 existing ordinary shares in EcoSecurities. This
represents approximately 34 per cent. of the amount ACG held when EcoSecurities
was admitted to AIM in December 2005. Bruce Usher indirectly controls an element
of the voting and capital interests of ACG and is therefore deemed under Irish
law to be interested in 4,682,467 existing ordinary shares in EcoSecurities.
Bruce Usher and ACG have, however, confirmed to EcoSecurities that Bruce Usher
is not beneficially entitled to any of the existing ordinary shares in
EcoSecurities held by ACG. The existing ordinary shares in EcoSecurities held by
ACG are held in trust for the benefit of third parties and Bruce Usher neither
has control over, nor derives any benefit from such shares. Bruce Usher is also
interested in options in relation to 1,800,000 ordinary shares in EcoSecurities.
After the Institutional Placing Bruce Usher will be deemed, under Irish law to
be interested in 3,638,467 existing ordinary shares in EcoSecurities.

(3)    In addition to the shares included in the table above, Cargill,
Incorporated has an option, exercisable from 31 August 2006 to 17 August 2008,
to subscribe for up to 3,248,720 ordinary shares in EcoSecurities at a
subscription price of US$1.1543 per share.
