Placing Update - exercise of Broker's Option

2ergo Group plc (AIM: RGO, "2ergo" or "the Company") announces that, in connection with the Placing and Subscription announced on 14 September 2012, Numis Securities Limited has exercised part of the Option provided by the Company in respect of a total of 4,473,540 Ordinary Shares in the Company (the "Option Shares"), representing 93 per cent. of the total number of new Ordinary Shares available under the Option.

The Option has been exercised to meet strong aftermarket demand.

The Option Shares have been conditionally placed at a price of 10p per Option Share (being equal to the Placing Price). All of the proceeds of approximately £0.45 million arising from the issue of the Option Shares will, after deduction of commissions and expenses, be received by the Company.

Following the above-mentioned exercise of the Option, the Option remains open until 6.00 p.m. on 26 September 2012 for further exercise by Numis in respect of a further 346,460 Ordinary Shares in the Company. Additional Ordinary Shares may be issued by the Company in accordance with the authority and power conferred upon the Board by Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company which was held on 29 February 2012 ("AGM Shares") should the Company wish to satisfy additional demand between now and the General Meeting. Any Option Shares issued pursuant to any exercise of the Option, and any AGM Shares issued at the same time as the Placing and Subscription, will be issued on the same terms and conditions as other Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Placing and Subscription.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the announcement of the Placing and Subscription dated 14 September 2012.
