FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


THURSDAY 7 FEBRUARY 2008 at 3.00 pm





Numis Corporation Plc ('Numis')


Establishment of a new Numis Corporation Plc Employee Benefit Trust No.2 
('EBT No.2')


A new Numis Corporation Plc Employee Benefit Trust No.2 ('EBT No.2') has been
established to enable the new Numis employee incentive plans (as approved and
adopted at the Annual General Meeting held on 29 January 2008) to operate.
Future awards will be funded by the allocation of Numis shares held by EBT No.2.
Future share purchases made for the benefit of employees of Numis will be held
by EBT No.2.


The original Numis Corporation Plc Employee Share Trust ('EBT No.1') will not,
for the immediate foreseeable future, be used to fund future incentive awards,
but will continue to hold those shares awarded to employees under the previous
Long Term Incentive Plan ('LTIP') until such time as these awards vest.


On 6 February 2008, EBT No.1 sold (in an off market transaction) 4,424,837
(4.12%) Numis shares to EBT No.2 at a price of 232.75p per share. The 4,424,837
(4.12%) Numis shares will be used to fund future employee incentive awards.


Pursuant to the Companies Act 2006, Numis Corporation Plc Employee Share Trust
(EBT No.1) is deemed interested in 7,819,112 (7.28%) Numis shares, and the Numis
Corporation Plc Employee Benefit Trust No.2 is deemed interested in 4,424,837
(4.12%) Numis shares.


The Numis shares referred to above are Numis' ordinary shares of 5p each and the
total number of shares in issue following the above will be 107,367,344 with
each ordinary share carrying the right to one vote. There are no shares held in
treasury.


The total number of voting rights in Numis will therefore be 107,367,344.
