Notes to editors:

PLUS Markets Group plc is an independent provider of primary and secondary
equity market services.  PMG developed the PLUS service during 2005, with strong
support from leading financial institutions and brokers, to offer trading in
listed and unlisted equity securities.  PMG also owns and operates the Ofex
market, which underwent significant development in the same period.  The name "
Ofex" will shortly disappear, to become part of a unified commercial offering
under the name of "PLUS".
