 RM plc - announcement of EGM to seek further authorisation to buy back shares 

RM plc, the UK's leading supplier of ICT software, systems and services to
education establishments, announces that it is to hold an Extraordinary General
Meeting to consider a special resolution that the Company be authorised to make
further market purchases, for cancellation, of its own shares.

The share repurchases made since 23 January 2002 will enhance pre-exceptional
earnings per share to the benefit of all shareholders. RM's cash position
remains strong. After returning £3.4 million to shareholders through share
repurchases, the Company's net funds balance at 30 September 2002 was in excess
of £30 million. The Board believes that it remains appropriate to have the
option to use a proportion of the Company's cash to buy back shares.

In the normal course of events the share buy back authority would not be
renewed until RM's next AGM in January 2003. In order to retain the flexibility
to repurchase shares in the period between the Company's results announcement
and the AGM, the Board is seeking shareholder approval to buy back up to a
further 8,970,079 shares (10% of its issued share capital as at 8 October
2002.)
