RECORD PLC

BUSINESS UPDATE

Record plc ("Record" or the "Company"), the specialist currency investment manager, announces today that it has, subject to contract, been selected for a passive hedging mandate initially between approximately $8 billion and $10 billion in size (with AuME quoted by convention in US Dollars), at fee rates expected to be broadly commensurate with Record's average passive hedging management fee rate.  Assuming contract negotiations conclude successfully, this mandate is expected to commence, and hence revenues to start accruing, during the fourth calendar quarter this year.  Part of the increase in AuME may only be temporary.

Record will announce its financial results for the year ended 31^st March 2013 on 11^th June 2013 and its first quarter trading update on 19^th July 2013.

Notes to Editors

Record plc

Record is a specialist currency manager and provider of currency hedging services for institutional clients.  Founded in 1983, Record has established a market leading position as a currency manager.  Specifically, the Group has a leading position in managing Dynamic Hedging and Currency for Return for institutional clients.

The Group has three principal product lines:

-    Dynamic Hedging, formerly known as Active Hedging, where Record seeks to eliminate the impact of currency movements on elements of clients' investment portfolios that are denominated in foreign currencies when these movements are expected to result in an economic loss to the client, but not to do so when they are expected to result in an economic gain;

-    Passive Hedging, where Record seeks to eliminate fully or partially the economic impact of currency movements on elements of clients' investment portfolios that are denominated in foreign currencies; and

-    Currency for Return, formerly known as Absolute Return, in which Record enters into currency contracts for clients with the objective of generating positive returns.
