Share plc, parent company of retail stockbroker The Share Centre, is delighted to announce an offer of 4,000,000 free shares in the Company ahead of its proposed flotation on AIM.

Free Shares Offer

(“Share” or “the Company”)

Offer highlights

4,000,000 shares will be available on a first come first served basis

200 free shares will be given to each investor who takes out a full subscription ISA with The Share Centre by 3 April 2009, including customers who have already fully subscribed in the current tax year

Investors who transfer their existing ISA or PEP of at least equivalent value to a full subscription to The Share Centre also qualify for the free shares offer. Shares will be issued per ISA or PEP transferred in rather than per investor and valued at the completion date of the transfer

The offer allows personal investors to get involved in the exciting prospects of the Company as it approaches its proposed flotation on AIM

Share plc shareholders receive a rebate of up to £300 per quarter against dealing commission on trades dealt through The Share Centre

It is intended additional shares may be purchased by personal investors at the time of the Company’s proposed admission onto AIM.

Full details of the free shares offer can be found at share.com/freeshares from 18th January 2008.

Gavin Oldham, Chief Executive of Share plc, said: “Personal investors have played a key role in the growth and development of Share plc to date and at this exciting stage for the Company, we feel it is right to include them in our plans for the future.

By offering free shares we hope to give our customers the chance to share in our success as we move towards the next step in the Company’s evolution, a quotation on AIM.”
