Transaction in Own Shares

Pursuant to the general authority given to InterQuest by its shareholders, the Company announces that on 4 May 2011 it purchased a total of 30,000 ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the share capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to be held in treasury. 20,000 Ordinary Shares were purchased at a price of 65p per share and the remaining 10,000 Ordinary Shares were purchased at a price of 65.055p per share.

This represents 0.10 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company.

Therefore, in accordance with Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1, following this purchase, there are 30,000 Ordinary Shares held in treasury and the total number of voting rights in InterQuest is 31,256,087 (correcting the announcements of 3 December and 5 April. This should have been 31,286,087, not 31,036,087 as stated).

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, InterQuest under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
