AGM Statement

7 June 2007 Tullett Prebon plc Chairman's Annual General Meeting Statement At today's Annual General Meeting, Keith Hamill, Chairman, will make the following statement: "We have planned 2007 as a year of transition. Over the last two years the business has grown margins to satisfactory levels, achieved acceptable cash flows, integrated the Prebon acquisition and demerged the Collins Stewart business, which allowed us to make the capital repayment of £301.5 million in March 2007. In January 2007 the acquisition of Chapdelaine was completed, which has strengthened the business in North America. Following these achievements our objectives for the next few years are to grow revenue and to develop TradeBlade™, our electronic trading platform. The investments being made in revenue growth are already producing encouraging results, although we expect the impact to start to show in the second half and into 2008. We anticipate investing approximately £15 million in TradeBlade™ in the current year - all of which will be charged in the income statement. TradeBlade™ successfully launched its FX Options product in May. The strengthening of sterling against the US dollar and our major Asian currencies, compared with the first half of 2006, will reduce the growth rate in reported revenues. The Board is confident that the actions being taken will continue to create value for shareholders as the benefits come through."
