Numis Corporation Plc ('Numis')

Numis Equity Incentive Scheme for Employees of Numis Securities Inc - The US
Restricted Stock Plan ('USRSP')


The Board of Numis today announces that it has introduced 'The US Restricted
Stock Plan' ('USRSP'), an equity share incentive scheme for US employees of
Numis Securities Inc ('NSI'). The terms of the scheme will mirror those for the
Numis UK Long Term Incentive Plan ('LTIP'). Under the terms of the scheme,
employees are invited to subscribe for Numis shares on the basis that for each
new Numis share purchased they will receive, at no further cost to them, one
additional Numis share (each a 'matching share'). Subject to certain limited
exceptions, employees must remain in employment with the Numis Group for a
minimum period of five years to achieve the matching share benefit.

Under the Numis USRSP, Numis approved awards of 127,830 (0.12%) Numis shares at
a price of 285.2p per share. These awards represent 63,915 (0.06%) shares to be
purchased by employees and 63,915 (0.06%) matching shares and will be funded
entirely by the allocation of 127,830 (0.12%) Numis shares, held by the Numis
Corporation Plc Employee Share Trust ('the Trust'). The Trust currently holds
9,567,197 (9.03%) Numis shares specifically for the benefit of Numis' employee
share incentive schemes.

Numis shares referred to above are Numis' ordinary shares of 5p each. The total
number of shares in issue is 105,902,506.
