Directors' dealings and directorate change

On 21 November 2008, Numis announced that following a detailed legal review of its Articles of Association (the 'Articles'), Numis had identified a long standing technical breach of a requirement of the Articles for each director of Numis (each a 'Director', together the 'Directors') to personally and directly hold 20,000 Numis ordinary shares ('Shares').

Numis also announced that Directors who had been in technical breach of the Company's Articles had remedied the breach and had been reappointed to the Board of Numis (the 'Board'), with the exception of Tom Bartlam who was not able to immediately remedy his personal breach.

Tom Bartlam now holds 25,000 Numis ordinary shares in his personal capacity (these shares were previously held beneficially and have with effect from 11 December 2008, been transferred to Tom Bartlam in his personal capacity). Tom Bartlam has been reappointed to the Board and will present himself for re-election to the Board at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of Numis to be held on 27 January 2009.

The Shares referred to above are Numis' ordinary shares of 5p each and the total number of Shares in issue is 107,555,594 with each Share carrying the right to one vote. There are no Shares held in treasury.

The total number of voting rights in Numis is 107,555,594.
