will be held on their behalf by Eckoh in trust. Thereafter, the shares to which
non-assenting Intelliplus Shareholders are entitled may be obtained by
application to Capita IRG Plc, accompanied by the share certificate(s) and/or
other document(s) of title in respect of such Intelliplus shares formerly held
by the non-assenting Intelliplus Shareholders.

The Offer will remain open for acceptance until the compulsory acquisition
process has completed. Eckoh urges Intelliplus shareholders who have not yet
accepted the Offer to complete and return their Forms of Acceptance, in
accordance with the instructions printed thereon, whether or not their
Intelliplus shares are in CREST, as soon as possible.
