25 January 2010 (London) 
Recommended Proposal by UTV Software Communications Limited ("UTV") 
Further to the announcement made by UMP on 21 January 2010, UTV announces that 
earlier today, the Indian Court Order was registered with the Indian Registrar 
of Companies and the Scheme became effective (the "Effective Date").  Pursuant 
to the Scheme, the New UTV Shares were issued to the holders of UMP Shares as 
shown by the register of members of UMP at 6.00 p.m. on 22 January 2010, the 
assets and business of UMP were transferred to UTV and UMP was dissolved 
(without winding up). 
Trading of the shares of UMP Plc ("UMP") on AIM was suspended with effect from 
7.00 a.m. today and cancellation of UMP's admission to trading on AIM will occur 
at 7.00 a.m. on 26 January 2010.Share certificates in respect of the UMP Shares 
have ceased to be valid and entitlements to UMP Shares held within the CREST 
system have been cancelled. 
It is expected that the New UTV Shares will be admitted to listing on the 
National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange within 14 days of the 
Effective Date. 
If the New UTV Shares are held through a Demat Account, it is expected that they 
will also be admitted to trading on the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay 
Stock Exchange within 14 days of the Effective Date.  If the New UTV Shares are 
held in certificated form, however, they will not be admitted to trading on 
those markets, although persons holding in certificated form may subsequently 
transfer any such New UTV Shares into a Demat Account. 
Certificates in respect of New UTV Shares held in certificated form will be 
delivered to the registered holder within 14 days of the Effective Date. 
Details of the Demat Account opening process are set out on pages 9 - 11 of the 
Scheme Document. Information on opening a Demat Account can be obtained by 
contacting Yatin Sang or Nirmala Dalvi at Karvy on +91 (0)22 2630279.

in the Scheme Document.  Copies of this announcement will be made available on
