                           YouGov plc (the 'Company')
                                        
                                  Share split
                                        
The Directors are pleased to announce today the proposed sub division of the 
Company's share capital (the 'Share Split'). The Directors, having consulted 
with the Company's brokers, consider that having a larger number of ordinary 
shares with a lower market value than at present will serve to improve the 
marketability and liquidity of the Company's shares. 
 
An ordinary resolution to subdivide each issued and unissued ordinary share of
1p each in the capital of the Company ('Existing Ordinary Shares') into five 
new ordinary shares of 0.2p each ('New Ordinary Shares') will be proposed at an 
Extraordinary General Meeting ('EGM') of the Company which is to be held on 10 
April 2007. The New Ordinary Share will have the same rights as the Existing
Ordinary Shares. 
 
This change will only become effective if approved by shareholders at the
forthcoming  EGM. A shareholder in the Company at 6pm on 10 April 2007 (being
the 'Record Date') will then receive five New Ordinary Shares for every one
Existing Ordinary Share that they hold.
