Fairpoint Group plc ('the Company')

Re Additional Listing


On 7 March 2008, the Company announced that, as a result of the exercise of
options by employees, application had been made to AIM for the admission of
68,278 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company to trading.

The Company would like to update the market that, due to the decline in the
Company's share price since the Board meeting to approve the exercise of the
options, there has been a reduction in the number of people exercising their
options at this stage and the number of shares for which application for trading
has been made is 37,661 ordinary shares of 1p each and not 68,278 as previously
announced.

Admission of the 37,661 ordinary shares, which will rank pari passu in all
respects with the existing shares in issue, is expected to occur on 13 March
2008.
