Osborne & Little PLC
22 September 2000
Osborne & Little plc (the 'Company')
The Company announces that it intends to cancel the listing of its ordinary
shares on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority (the 'Official List')
and to apply for their admission on the Alternative Investment Market ('AIM').
It is expected that cancellation of the listing will be effective from 8.00
am, Monday 23 October 2000 and that dealings on AIM will commence immediately
thereafter.
The Directors believe that moving the Company's quote to AIM should give it
greater flexibility. In particular, the Company expects to make further
purchases of its own shares, should such purchases be earnings enhancing. It
would be unable to do this if its listing on the Official List remained, given
the current level of shares held by the public.
