On 28 September 2007, the boards of Cardpoint plc ("Cardpoint") and alphyra Holdings Limited ("alphyra")
announced that they had agreed the terms of a merger of Cardpoint and alphyra (the "Merger") to create a leading
European consumer payments and cash distribution group (the "Payzone Group". The Merger is intended to be
effected by Payzone plc ("Payzone" or the "Company"), a newly-incorporated company tax-resident in Ireland,
acquiring each of Cardpoint and alphyra.



The Payzone Group will be a leading consumer payments acceptance and cash distribution network across 21 European
countries, with an electronic platform which processes annually over 550 million transactions with a value in
excess of Euro10.2 billion for banks, utility providers, mobile operators and other clients.



The Payzone Group will benefit from a diverse product, geographic and client portfolio, as well as an experienced
management team with a proven ability to grow the business and a clear strategy of how to move the combined
entity forward, which, taken together, will provide a strong competitive platform on which to continue to build.



As at 30 June 2007, the Company's businesses had in excess of 240,000 points of service in more than 170,000
retail locations (including approximately 6,000 ATMs) that cover a population of over 450 million people. Across
this network, the Company's businesses deliver payment and cash dispensing services that drive greater efficiency
for its clients and increased revenues for its retail agents.



The Company's main countries of operation will be the UK and Ireland.



In view of the size of the Merger in relation to Cardpoint, the Merger constitutes a reverse take-over of alphyra
by Cardpoint under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules for Companies.
