Titanium Asset Management Corp. ('Titanium' or the 'Company') (AIM: TAM) is
pleased to announce that it has entered  into agreements to acquire:

• the entire issued and outstanding capital stock of Wood Asset Management Inc
('Wood');

• the entire issued and outstanding capital stock of Sovereign Holdings, LLC
('Sovereign'); and

• certain client mandates from Siesta Key Capital LLC ('SKC')

(collectively, the 'Acquisition').

In aggregate, following completion of the Acquisition, the Company will have
approximately U.S.$3.33 billion of assets  under management ('AUM').

The Acquisition is expected to be completed on 1 October 2007 and constitutes a
reverse takeover under the AIM Rules.  The Acquisition is therefore contingent
upon, among other things, approval by a majority of the holders of common stock 
in Titanium ('Stockholders') at a Special Meeting.

Stockholders holding a majority of Titanium's common shares ('Common Shares')
have already irrevocably undertaken to  vote in favor of the resolution to be
proposed at the Special Meeting to approve the Acquisition thus ensuring its 
approval by Stockholders.

The Company is today despatching to Stockholders a re-admission document in
respect of Titanium (as enlarged by the  Acquisition) that contains all
information required by the AIM rules and contains a notice convening the
Special  Meeting..

Information on Titanium

Titanium was formed and organised as a corporation under the laws of the State
of Delaware to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of one or more operating
companies or businesses, assets or divisions of companies, engaged in the asset
management industry. Titanium currently has no business operations.

Titanium's issued Common Shares and Warrants were admitted to trading on AIM on
21 June 2007 and, at that time, Titanium raised approximately U.S.$110,000,000
net of expenses.

Effect of the Acquisition

The Acquisition, on completion, will constitute a Business Combination (as
defined in Titanium's admission document dated 18 June 2007 ('Admission
Document')) and, accordingly, on completion:

   • the Directors of Titanium will become eligible to be paid compensation;

   • certain payments due from the Company to SKC for the provision of
    administrative services will cease; and

   • certain deferred fees will become payable.

However, the Acquisition will not constitute a Qualified Business Combination
(as defined in the Admission Document). Titanium is, however, in discussions
with several potential target businesses, any one of which, if negotiations are
successfully concluded, would amount to a Qualified Business Combination.

Following completion of Acquisition, the Company will no longer be an investing
company for the purposes of the AIM  Rules.  After such time, Titanium will
continue as a normal operating company.
