                          Statement regarding approach


Further to the announcement dated 19 October, Informa plc ('Informa' or the
'Company') announces that, following discussions with Springer Science +
Business Media ('SSBM'), whose principal shareholders are Cinven and Candover,
it has today received a final proposal from SSBM regarding a possible offer for
the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company at 630p per
share in cash. This proposal was subject, inter alia, to various pre-conditions
including financing and due diligence.

The Board believes that this offer significantly undervalues Informa and its
future prospects. Informa is currently trading comfortably in line with the
Board's expectations for 2006 and the Board is confident of another strong set
of results in 2007. Consequently, the Board believes Informa will deliver
shareholder value in excess of this possible offer and has therefore rejected
the proposal and has terminated discussions with SSBM.
