Purchase of shares in Close Period

The Board of Numis (the "Board") today announces that the Company is about to enter a close period ahead of the publication of annual results for the year ending 30 September 2015 (the "Close Period").

Pursuant to the share buyback authority approved by the Board on 24 September 2015, the Board has granted authority to the Company's broker, Numis Securities Limited, to continue to purchase the Company's ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") in the market during the Close Period. Subject to availability in the market, any Ordinary Shares purchased during the Close Period will be held in treasury and may then be used to fund employee equity incentive awards should the need arise.

The authority granted is irrevocable and non-discretionary and during the Close Period the Board has no power to invoke any changes to the authority and any purchases will be undertaken at the sole discretion of Numis Securities Limited, who is acting independently of, and uninfluenced by, the Company.

Any Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to these arrangements will be carried out within certain pre-set parameters and in accordance with applicable law and the limitations of the share purchase authority approved at the last Annual General Meeting of shareholders.
