In accordance with DTR 5.6.1 of the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules we would like to notify the market of the following:

IQE plc has issued 129,967 additional Ordinary Shares with voting rights since 29 February 2012.

The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue as at 30 April 2012 is 569,009,606. All of these Ordinary Shares carry voting rights of one vote per Ordinary Share. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury and so the total number of voting rights in the Company is currently 569,009,606.

The  above  figures  may  be  used  by  shareholders  as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Service Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The Ordinary Shares referred to above are the ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company.
