Capital Markets Day

Tullett Prebon plc (the "Company") is today hosting a capital markets day for institutional investors and analysts in London. The event will be hosted by John Phizackerley, Chief Executive, together with other members of the Company's senior management team. The event will provide an update on the Company's strategy and its ten key initiatives, and will include presentations on the regional broking businesses, the Company's Energy franchise, and its Information Sales business.

John Phizackerley will articulate the Company's goal of becoming the world's most trusted source of liquidity in hybrid OTC markets and the best operator in global voice broking.  The Company's plan is to increase revenue and raise the quality and quantity of earnings, through further diversification of the client base, continued expansion into Energy and commodities, and building scale in the Americas and Asia Pacific, whilst preserving the business's core franchises.

He will outline the projects that have been initiated to optimise performance, to develop scale, increase geographic and product coverage in the most attractive segments of the market, and improve the Company's functions in order to support the growth of the revenue generating divisions.  Other members of the senior management team will discuss the potential opportunities for the Company in each of the regional broking businesses, in the Energy sector, and in Information Sales.

The Company will not be providing an update to the trading statement issued on 6 May 2015.

In that trading update the Company reported that revenue in the four months to April of £284m was 15% higher than the £248m reported for the same period in the previous year. The trading update also reported that the benefits of the action taken by the Company during 2014 to reduce headcount and other fixed costs have been reflected in an improvement in the business's contribution margin in the first part of 2015 compared with the same period a year ago, and that the Company is continuing to invest in the development of the business and in the implementation of the cultural framework.

John Phizackerley will announce a number of new senior management hires and will highlight that the management of the business initiatives and the strengthening of the control and support functions that will be discussed today is estimated to increase ongoing costs by less than 1% of revenue annually, of which just over three-quarters will be incurred in 2015.  He will emphasize that these investments are important for the Company to retain its competitive advantage, to innovate, and to grow revenue and earnings.

No further material new information will be provided.

Presentation materials will be made available on the Tullett Prebon website: (www.tullettprebon.com) in due course.

Tullett Prebon plc will report its Interim Results for the 6 months to 30 June 2015 on 28 July 2015.
