RECOMMENDED INCREASED OFFER FOR INSPIRED CAPITAL PLC BY BENTLEY PARK (UK) LIMITED

NOTICE OF CANCELLATION OF ADMISSION TO TRADING OF INSPIRED CAPITAL SHARES ON AIM AND NOTICE OF CLOSURE OF THE RECOMMENDED INCREASED OFFER

Further to the announcement made by Bentley Park (UK) Limited ("Bentley") on 28 July 2015 that it had acquired or had received valid acceptances of the Recommended Increased Offer in respect of, in aggregate, 203,947,329 Inspired Capital Shares (representing approximately 93.11 per cent. of the total issued ordinary share capital of Inspired Capital plc ("Inspired Capital")) Inspired Capital has, at the request of Bentley, applied to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of trading in Inspired Capital Shares on AIM ("Cancellation").

Accordingly, Inspired Capital hereby gives notice that an application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of admission to trading of Inspired Capital Shares on AIM, which, in accordance with AIM Rule 41, is expected to be effective at 7.00 a.m. on 28 September 2015. In addition, further to the announcement made by Bentley on 13 August 2015 regarding the commencement of the compulsory acquisition process, Bentley will complete the compulsory acquisition of all Inspired Capital Shares that have not been assented to the Recommended Increased Offer, at 11.59pm on 24 September 2015. Following the completion of the compulsory acquisition, settlement of trades in Inspired Capital Shares through CREST will be disabled with immediate effect. As a result, trading in Inspired Capital Shares on AIM will be suspended with effect from 7.30 a.m. on 25 September 2015.

Cancellation will significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any Inspired Capital Shares in respect of which the Recommended Increased Offer has not been accepted. Following the cancellation becoming effective, it is intended that Inspired Capital be re-registered as a private company under the Companies Act as this will reduce both the costs and complexities of operating Inspired Capital.

Further to the announcement on 13 August 2015 by Bentley, Bentley hereby announces that the Recommended Increased Offer will close at 5 p.m. on 24 September 2015.

Terms used but not defined in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the Recommended Increased Offer Document dated 13 July 2015.
