                          ('Mercury' or the 'Company')

                            Matched bargain facility

Further to the announcement on 31 March 2008, the Company is pleased to announce
 that, subject to shareholder approval of the delisting of the Company's shares 
from trading on the AIM Market, it has reached an agreement with JP Jenkins 
Stockbrokers to provide a matched bargain dealing facility in Mercury ordinary 
shares with effect from the date on which the proposed delisting from AIM takes
 place.

JP Jenkins Stockbrokers is a trading division of IAF Securities Limited, a 
subsidiary of AIM quoted IAF Group PLC.

The facility that will be operated by JP Jenkins Stockbrokers (the 'Facility') 
is a 'real time' matched bargain facility. Trades will be conducted at the level
 at which JP Jenkins Stockbrokers are able to match a willing seller and 
a willing buyer. An indicative middle market price, derived from the indication 
of all limit orders which have been received in Mercury shares over a period of 
time, will be displayed on JP Jenkins Stockbrokers' website. Shareholders 
and potential investors will be able to trade on the Facility through a UK 
regulated stockbroker or by becoming a registered client of IAF Securities 
Limited. The Facility will be available throughout the year during normal 
business hours. Details of the Facility will be posted on the Mercury website 
after the forthcoming AGM, if the necessary resolutions are passed at the AGM. 
Subject to the passing of the necessary resolutions cancellation of admission to 
trading on AIM is expected to be effective from 7.00am on 30 May 2008.
