ADVFN plc ("ADVFN" or the "Company")
The following replaces the announcement released on 12 November 2009 at 10:31am under RNS No. 4052C. The previous holding for Mr Ray Negus should have read 999,999 rather than 666,666. As a result the new holding for Mr Negus should read 1,002,044 and the percentage holding should read 0.16%. In addition, 45,000 options were issued to Mr Robert Emmet not Mr Ray Negus as was incorrectly stated in the previous announcement. All other information remains unchanged.
