Cash Return to Shareholders

Reliance Security Group PLC
12 October 2005



                    Reliance Security Group plc ('Reliance')

                         Return of Cash to Shareholders

The Directors of Reliance have now agreed the structure for the previously
announced cash return to shareholders of approximately £10 million. It is
expected that, subject to shareholder approval, this will be effected by an
on-market tender offer to shareholders to acquire part of their holdings for
cash.

Full details of the proposals (including a notice convening an extraordinary
general meeting) are expected to be posted to shareholders with the interim
statement shortly after the announcement of Reliance's interim results and the
end of the related close period. This announcement is currently scheduled for 1
December 2005 and it is expected that the tender offer will be made immediately
thereafter, conditional upon the passing of the necessary authorising special
resolution. In this way, it should be possible to distribute the tender sale
proceeds to accepting shareholders within the next three months. The price at
which the tender offer is made will be determined immediately prior to posting.

Note:

Reliance is an established market leader in the provision of contract security,
facilities management, support services and in business process outsourcing.
Reliance employs over 12,000 people from a network of offices throughout the UK.
