Transaction in Own Shares

Lupus Capital plc (the "Company") announces that it has today, 24 January 2008, purchased 28,772 ordinary shares from shareholders with holdings of fewer than 9,000 shares at a price of 76.0 pence. These shares were purchased pursuant to the buy-back authority granted to the Company by shareholders at the General meeting on 11 December 2007 (the "Buyback Authority") and further to the Company's proposed offer to purchase small holdings outlined in the Company circular dated 16 November 2007. The 28,772 shares purchased, as disclosed above, will be held by the Company in Treasury. The Company has 137,211,533 ordinary shares in issue, of which 7,443,712 are now held in Treasury. Following this purchase there are 129,767,821 voting ordinary shares in issue which are not held in Treasury. The Company has agreed to extend the small shareholder facility for an additional two weeks and expects to make similar purchases of small shareholdings on 31 January 2008 and 7 February 2008; further announcements will be made about these anticipated purchases in due course. The Board considers that the recent weakness in the share price has provided an attractive opportunity for the Company to purchase its own shares and by buying back shares from those with small holdings this will help increase the administrative efficiency of the Company. The Company may also make general market purchases pursuant to the Buyback Authority in advance of the close period before the announcement of the Company's Annual Results. ---END OF MESSAGE---
