Numis Corporation Plc ("Numis")

Annual General Meeting ("AGM")

The Board of Numis announces today, 4 February 2014, at the Annual General Meeting that Sir David Arculus, (Non-Executive Chairman) reported:

"Our franchise has never been stronger. London Stock Exchange data shows Numis ranked 2^nd for main market IPO's completed in 2013 and Adviser Rankings shows Numis ranked 2^nd for total number of stock market clients. These achievements are testament to the quality and commitment of our talented people and our continued focus on building long term relationships based on trust.   

Our new financial year has started well as momentum continues to build in both the primary and secondary markets.  Consequently, our revenues are well ahead of the same period last year and our deal pipeline is the strongest it has been for quite some time.  In order to maintain the quality of our offering and our focus on client service, we have made a number of strategic hires since the year end and will continue to invest in our people to ensure the firm remains well resourced to benefit from the favorable market conditions.

Finally, with regard to Board composition, we have already announced that one of our independent non-executive directors, Tom Bartlam, retired from the Board with effect from 30 December 2013 after eight years of service.  We will be seeking a replacement for Tom and hope to make a further announcement on this matter in due course."
