The Company announces that an application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the admission to trading on AIM of a block listing of 2,000,000 ordinary shares of 5p each. These shares, which rank equally with the existing ordinary shares in issue, will be allotted from time to time as a result of the exercise of options under the Scapa Group 2001 Sharesave Scheme and the Scapa Group plc 2004 Performance Share Plan. It is expected that the block listing will become effective on 7 February 2010.

In conformity with the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, Scapa hereby notifies the market that the Company's issued share capital comprises 145,262,050 ordinary shares of 5p each. All of these shares carry voting rights. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury.

The above figure of 145,262,050 ordinary shares in the Company carrying voting rights may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest, or a change to their interest, in the Company.
