the scheme, employees are invited to subscribe for Numis shares on the basis
that for each new Numis share purchased they will receive, at no further cost to
them, one additional Numis share.
Under the Numis USRSP, Numis approved awards of 22,182 (0.02%) Numis shares at a
price of 287.75p per share. The awards represent 22,182 (0.02%) shares to be
purchased by the employees and 22,182 (0.02%) matching shares and will be funded
entirely by the allocation of 44,364 (0.04%) Numis shares, held by the Trust.

exceptions, employees must remain in employment with the Numis Group for a
minimum period of 5 years to achieve the matching share benefit under each
scheme.
