      Intermediate Capital Group PLC - Placement of the Rights Issue Rump

Following the announcement earlier today that Intermediate Capital Group PLC
('ICG') had received valid acceptances in respect of 15,026,335 New Ordinary
Shares, representing approximately 96% of the total number of New Ordinary
Shares offered to shareholders pursuant to the 2 for 9 rights issue announced by
ICG on 10 January 2008 (the 'Rights Issue'), ICG now announces that, in
accordance with the arrangements set out in Part III of the Rights Issue
prospectus dated 11 January 2008 (the 'Prospectus'), subscribers have today been
procured for the remaining 643,047 New Ordinary Shares for which valid
acceptances were not received, at a price of 1,575 pence per share.

The net proceeds from the sale of these New Ordinary Shares amounting, after
deduction of the Rights Issue price of 1,150 pence per share and relevant costs,
to approximately 421 pence per share, will be paid to shareholders who have not
taken up their entitlements, pro rata to their lapsed provisional allotments
save that amounts of less than £5 will not be paid to such persons but will be
aggregated and retained for the benefit of ICG. As a result of the sale of these
shares, neither the underwriters nor the sub-underwriters will be required to
subscribe for any New Ordinary Shares.

The Rights Issue was underwritten by J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. on behalf of
JPMorgan Cazenove Limited.

Definitions used in the Prospectus shall have the same meanings when used in
this announcement, unless the context requires otherwise.
