FOR IMMEDATE RELEASE



Scrip Dividend Scheme ('the Scheme')

Numis Corporation Plc ('Numis' or 'the company')



The Board of Numis announces that, on 6 February 2003, shareholders approved all
resolutions at the company's Annual General Meeting.  Those resolutions included
the granting of permission to allot new ordinary shares in Numis for the Scheme.


This Scheme allows shareholders the option to receive ordinary shares in Numis
instead of a cash dividend.



Elections have been received in respect of 4,608,888 (29.68%) ordinary shares in
Numis and, as a result, the Board of Numis have approved the issue and allotment
of 86,961 (0.56%) new ordinary shares in Numis.  These shares will rank pari
passu with all existing ordinary shares.  Application will be made for admission
of the new ordinary shares to trading on the Alternative Investment Market of
the London Stock Exchange and dealings are expected to commence on 14 February
2003.



The ordinary shares referred to are Numis' ordinary shares of 25p per share and
the total number of shares in issue following the allotment above is 15,613,067.
