Transaction in Own Shares

Lupus Capital plc (the "Company") announces that it has today, 24
January 2008, purchased 28,772 ordinary shares from shareholders with
holdings of fewer than 9,000 shares at a price of 76.0 pence.  These
shares were purchased pursuant to the buy-back authority granted to
the Company by shareholders at the General meeting on 11 December
2007 (the "Buyback Authority") and further to the Company's proposed
offer to purchase small holdings outlined in the Company circular
dated 16 November 2007.

 The 28,772 shares purchased, as disclosed above, will be held by the
Company in Treasury.  The Company has 137,211,533 ordinary shares in
issue, of which 7,443,712 are now held in Treasury.  Following this
purchase there are 129,767,821 voting ordinary shares in issue which
are not held in Treasury.

The Company has agreed to extend the small shareholder facility for
an additional two weeks and expects to make similar purchases of
small shareholdings on 31 January 2008 and 7 February 2008; further
announcements will be made about these anticipated purchases in due
course.

The Board considers that the recent weakness in the share price has
provided an attractive opportunity for the Company to purchase its
own shares and by buying back shares from those with small holdings
this will help increase the administrative efficiency of the Company.

The Company may also make general market purchases pursuant to the
Buyback Authority in advance of the close period before the
announcement of the Company's Annual Results.
