25 May 2010

Network Group Holdings plc ("NGH" or the "Company")  

Additional Listing and Total Voting Rights

NGH is pleased to announce that on 24 May 2010 the Company increased its shareholding in four subsidiaries.

It acquired an additional 5% of Network Recruitment Solutions Ltd, 19% of Network Recruitment Partnership Ltd, 10% of Network Sales & Marketing Ltd, and 10% of Cactus Search Ltd taking the resulting shareholding of NGH in each of these subsidiaries to 56%, 80%, 61% and 61% respectively.

As a consequence of the acquisition of shares as detailed above, NGH announces that on 24 May 2010 it issued 1,675,964 ordinary shares of 0.1p. Application for admission has been made in respect of these shares, and admission is expected to be effective at 8.00am on 28 May 2010.

These shares were issued pursuant to the Company's policy of incentivising management in its businesses through equity participation in the Company.

As a result of this issue of shares and in conformity with the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company gives notice that its voting capital consists of 72,279,089 Ordinary Shares of 0.1p each, with a total nominal value of £72,279.09.

As the Company does not hold any ordinary shares in Treasury, its total number of voting rights equals its capital. Under the trust deed establishing the Network Group Holdings Employee Benefit Trust, the trustees have undertaken to abstain from voting any shares held in the trust fund, which currently holds 6,500,000 Ordinary Shares, however these shares still carry voting rights, and have been included in the total voting rights figure quoted above.

The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
