Creation of New Training Group and Appointment of Director

red24, an international provider of risk management services, is pleased to announce the acquisition of a 25% interest in the share capital of Linx International Limited ("Linx"), the consideration for which will be the sale of red24's wholly-owned subsidiary, ARC Training International Limited ("ARC Training"), to Linx.

Linx, a leading security consultancy, is retained by a number of blue-chip organisations to provide training, security and risk management support and corporate investigations. Linx owns 75% of Perpetuity Training Ltd, who are a major provider of security management training within the UK and the addition of ARC Training's international client base, is expected to create one of the world leaders in security management training as well as providing opportunities for both red24 and Linx to expand the range of services offered to leading UK and international organizations.

Following completion, David Gill, the founder and managing director of Linx, will join the board of directors of red24 as a non-executive director. David had a successful career in the police force and is a Chartered Security Professional and the former Vice Chairman of The Security Institute. He has lectured on a variety of security disciplines at leading universities and has contributed to the drafting of the National Occupational Standards for Security Consultants. He has also had a number of articles and guides published and has given evidence on security matters as an Expert Witness at the High Court. Further information in respect of Mr Gill required pursuant to Schedule 2(g) of the AIM Rules for Companies is set out at the end of this announcement.

For the year ended 31 March 2013, ARC Training contributed revenues of £1,147,623 and profit before tax of £51,251. At 31 March 2013, ARC Training had net assets of £144,601. red24 intends to retain the Consideration Shares and Linx will be recognised as an associate of red24 in its consolidated financial statements from the date of completion.

Simon Richards, chairman of red24, commented: "We are delighted to have established a formal relationship with Linx who we believe are best placed to deliver the next stage in ARC Training's development. We expect this transaction to be broadly earnings neutral in the short-term, after recognising our share of the profits of Linx through our retained interest and to have a clear potential for earnings accretion going forward as Linx goes from strength to strength. We are also very pleased to welcome David Gill to the board of directors of red24. He brings a high level of sector expertise and experience and will provide a valuable added dimension to the board."

David Gill commented that: "The acquisition of ARC Training presents Linx with an exciting opportunity to build the global leader in security training. ARC Training and Perpetuity Training are widely recognised across the UK's security sector as the leading providers in security management training. Working in tandem I see huge scope for them to tackle much larger markets and expect significant growth for both businesses, particularly overseas. I am very much looking forward to working alongside the red24 management team and to supporting opportunities where red24 and Linx can combine their specialist expertise and resources to reach new and different markets"
