PLUS Markets Teams With PR Newswire to Deliver Disclosure and Investor Communications Solutions

London (ots/PRNewswire) - PLUS Markets Group plc ("PMG") today
announced a collaboration with PR Newswire, the world's leading
disclosure and corporate news distribution service, which will
provide companies listed or quoted on the PLUS market access to PR
Newswire's disclosure and investor communications services.

PMG chose to partner with PR Newswire to help their listed and
quoted companies increase their profile as well as fulfil their
regulatory disclosure obligations, through the use of PR Newswire's
Disclose service. Disclose helps companies fulfil UK and Transparency
Directive regulatory disclosure requirements by distributing price
sensitive announcements to official Secondary Information Providers
(SIPS) in the UK - Reuters, Bloomberg, Thomson Financial, AFX,
Perfect Information and Dow Jones - and key media in all EU member
states.

PMG was recently granted "Recognised Investment Exchange" status
by the Financial Services Authority, conferring on it exactly the
same rights and privileges as other recognised exchanges in the UK.

"Companies listed or quoted on PLUS and their corporate advisers
require an approved Regulated Information Service that is fast, easy
to use, and offers good value," said Cyril Theret, Business
Development Director at PMG. "Disclose already offers such a service
to more than 800 public companies in the UK and we are delighted to
provide access to Disclose to companies listed or quoted on our
market."

In addition to disclosure compliance, PMG and PR Newswire intend
to work together to offer wider communication solutions to
PLUS-listed and PLUS-quoted companies. These will include services
that send critical company information to institutional and retail
investors in Europe and the US, supporting issuers' IR programmes and
boosting liquidity.

"We are delighted to have reached this agreement with PMG," said
Lisa Ashworth, CEO of the PR Newswire European business, "It will
provide PMG companies with a world class service of investor
communications, and add to the already very strong partnerships that
PR Newswire has developed around the world."

PMG will cease to provide the in-house "Newstrack PLUS" service
that it has historically provided to PLUS-quoted companies.
