Notes to editors

Cashbox plc

Cashbox is a leading independent ATM deployer (IAD) with an estate of over 1,200
ATMs in locations around the UK. Cashbox installs and operates an estate of
ATMs, typically on five to seven year contracts, at sites throughout the UK
where there is a demand for cash withdrawal services and where customers are
willing to pay a convenience fee.

Cashbox was granted membership of LINK in March 2004, allowing Cashbox to
incorporate its ATMs in the LINK network. Cashbox also has a Bank of England
settlement account and became the first IAD in the UK to become completely
compliant with the Triple DES security standard in June 2004.

The Company intends that the majority of new installations will use the
Placement Model, whereby the ATM is purchased by Cashbox under lease hire,
placed with the merchant and replenished by the merchant, eliminating the need
for third party cash handling costs.

The Company listed on AIM in March 2006.
