delisting and admission of enlarged share capital to the Alternative Investment
Market of the London Stock Exchange plc ('AIM')
The Board is pleased to announce that Newmark has today completed the
acquisition of Grosvenor Technology Limited ('Grosvenor') following the all
share offer by Newmark for Vema N.V. (the 'Offer') being declared unconditional
on 17 September 2002.
The Board is also pleased to announce that 71,644,829 ordinary shares of 1 pence
each were today allotted to Vema N.V. ('Vema') global depository receipt ('GDR')

The Offer will remain open for acceptance until further notice. As at 3.00 pm
on 17 September 2002, valid acceptances had been received in respect of
47,763,220 GDRs, representing, in aggregate, approximately 66.3 per cent. of the
