'This transforming acquisition, where the placing was significantly
oversubscribed, completes today and this marks a significant milestone in the
further development of IDOX plc. Also from today Steve Ainsworth takes on the
role of Chief Executive Officer and I am sure Steve and the new combined team
will take every advantage of the opportunities we now have as a larger and more
capable organisation. The Company is well advanced in preparing its integration
plan to bring both businesses together. Formal consultation on this, through a
newly elected staff council, starts today. '

Steve Ainsworth, CEO of IDOX, said:

'I am extremely pleased that we have completed this transaction and we are
bringing the two companies together. IDOX and CAPS already have a long history
of collaboration and now as a combined entity we will be able to offer a broader
range of solutions and services to our customers and increased opportunities for
our staff. This merger provides us with a very solid platform for further
significant growth and I am personally excited to be given the opportunity to
lead this new organisation.'
