Genus plc, a world leading animal genetics company, is pleased to announce that

Official List (the 'Admission') will take place on 12 November 2007.

The Company gives notice under rule 41 of the AIM Rules that cancellation of
admission of the Company's shares to trading on AIM will take place
simultaneously with the admission of the Company's shares to trading on the
Official List which is expected to become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 12 November
2007.

The Board determined that Genus' shareholders should be given the opportunity to
consider the proposed move and a resolution to approve the Admission was passed
at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 16 November 2006. The Company
will shortly be publishing its prospectus in connection with the Admission.
