Hansard Global plc ('Hansard' or 'the Group'), the specialist long-term savings
provider, held its Annual General Meeting today at the Sefton Hotel, Harris
Promenade, Douglas, Isle of Man.


During the meeting Dr Leonard Polonsky, Executive Chairman of the Company, made
the following statement on the Company's current operations:


'We issued our first Interim Management Statement earlier this morning and are
pleased with the performance of the Group in the first four months of this
financial year, which has been in line with expectations. Continued strong new
business flows for the period to 31 October 2007 have built on the performance
of the previous financial year. Assets under administration also rose 8% despite
the turmoil in capital markets over the period. Growth in intermediary activity,
particularly in the Far East, Scandinavia and Latin America, continues in line
with our forecast levels. We are confident that the outlook for continued new
business growth remains positive for the Group.'


All of the thirteen Resolutions set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting
sent to shareholders on 16th October 2007 were approved. The following is a
