Date: 30 December 2008
    On behalf of: International Marketing & Sales Group Limited ("IMSG" or "the Company")
     International Marketing & Sales Group Limited 
*  Notice of EGM to Seek Approval for Proposed Delisting     International Marketing & Sales Group Limited (AIM /
AktieTorget: IMSG), ("the Company") the emerging markets focused sales and marketing company, announced on 29 December
that it will be holding an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") on 15 January 2009, commencing at 11.00am at 47
Esplanade, St Helier Jersey JE1 0BD to seek approval from the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") for the
cancellation of the admission of the Company's ordinary fully paid shares to trading on the AIM market of the London
Stock Exchange plc ("AIM") (the "Cancellation").
    Having carefully considered the matter for some time, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") concluded
that it is no longer appropriate for the shares of the Company to continue to be admitted to trading on AIM or the
Swedish AktieTorget market ("AktieTorget").
    In December 2005, the Company listed on AIM in order to create a public market in the shares of the Company, raise
the profile and status of the Company and provide access to capital for acquisitive and organic growth.
    The Directors believe the Company achieved satisfactory growth in turnover and PBT in 2006 and 2007 given the
prevailing market condition at that time. However since the autumn of 2008, conditions in the Company's key markets have
deteriorated considerably due to the turmoil in the global financial markets and related economic downturn.
    In contrast to the benefits of listing, which the Board does not expect will be available to the Company in the
short to medium term, there are significant on-going costs associated with the regulatory requirements of maintaining
quotations on AIM and AktieTorget, and the Board considers that a disproportionate amount of senior management time is
spent on meeting AIM and AktieTorget listing requirements.
    The resolution to cancel admission to trading on AIM requires the approval of 75 per cent of those present and
entitled to vote at the meeting or voting by proxy, in accordance with Rule 41 of the AIM Rules for Companies. If
shareholders do not vote in favour of the resolution, the Company will continue its AIM and AktieTorget listings. The
Notice of the EGM and accompanying circular (the "EGM Circular") have been posted to Shareholders.
    Under the AktieTorget Rules, trading may be suspended at the request of the Company and the admission to AktieTorget
may be terminated upon 3 months' written notice.
    If Shareholders wish to sell their Shares on AIM, they must do so prior to the cancellation becoming effective, and
such cancellation will occur no earlier than five days after the EGM. It is expected that trading in the Shares on AIM
will cease at the close of business on 28 January, 2009 with Cancellation effected at 7.00am on 29 January, 2009 and not
as previously stated in the EGM Circular.
    The Company shall remain registered as a Jersey public company.
    Following cancellation of admission of the Company's shares on AIM and AktieTorget, Shareholders will hold their
Shares in certificated form and will be able to effect a transfer of Shares by submission of a duly executed transfer
form to the Company. A matched-bargain private share dealing facility will be provided for Shareholders as soon as
practicable after the AIM de-listing becomes effective.
    A copy of the EGM Notice and EGM Circular explaining the arrangements in more details will be available at the
Company's website shortly at: http://www.imsg.co.uk
