Scrip Dividend and Posting of Annual Report and Accounts

Further to the announcement by the Group on 27 June 2011 of its preliminary results for the year ended 31 March 2011 in which the Directors declared a dividend (the "Dividend") of 1.5 pence per ordinary share in the Group ("Ordinary Share") and the offer of a scrip alternative to the Dividend (the "Scrip") in respect of the year ended 31 March 2011, the Board of ILX confirms that the Scrip reference price for the fully paid Ordinary Shares to be issued to shareholders electing to receive the Scrip alternative for the Dividend, payable on 14 October, will be 28.3 pence per Ordinary Share.

The Scrip reference price has been calculated by taking the average mid-market closing price of the Group's Ordinary Shares over the five business days commencing on the ex-dividend date. In respect of the final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2011, this was the period 3 August to 9 August 2011.

As at the record date there were 26,972,580 Ordinary Shares in issue. If none of the shareholders were to elect the Scrip dividend, a total cash dividend of GBP404,588.70 would be paid. If all shareholders were to elect to participate in the Scrip Dividend Scheme in respect of their entire shareholdings as at such date, based on the Scrip reference price of 28.3 pence per share, the maximum number of new Ordinary Shares required to be issued by the Group, for Scrip dividend purposes, would be 1,429,642, representing approximately 5.3% of the Group's issued share capital on the record date.

The exact number of shares which will require to be issued will be established after 16 September 2011, the final date for receipt of elections to participate in the Scrip Dividend Scheme.
