The Board of directors of Tullett Prebon plc ("Tullett Prebon")

Group plc ("NEX") (the "NEX Prospectus") in relation to the
admission of the ordinary shares of NEX to the premium listing
segment of the Official List and to trading on the main market for
listed securities of the London Stock Exchange. The NEX Prospectus
has been prepared in connection with a scheme of arrangement
pursuant to Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 to introduce NEX as
the new holding company of ICAP plc ("ICAP"). The Board of
directors of Tullett Prebon expects the acquisition by Tullett
Prebon of ICAP's global hybrid voice broking and information
business, including ICAP's associated technology and broking
platforms and certain of ICAP's joint ventures and associates (the

Transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a
number of conditions.
On completion of the Transaction, Tullett Prebon will issue new
Tullett Prebon shares directly to NEX shareholders, such that NEX
shareholders will hold, in aggregate, approximately 56 per cent. of
the issued share capital of Tullett Prebon and existing Tullett
Prebon shareholders will hold, in aggregate, approximately 44 per
cent. of the issued share capital of Tullett Prebon (calculated on
a fully diluted basis and immediately following such issuance). The
new Tullett Prebon shares to be issued to NEX shareholders are
expected to be admitted to the premium listing segment of the
Official List maintained by the Financial Conduct Authority and to
trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed
securities at 8:00 a.m. on 30 December 2016.
