Issue of Equity

01 September 2009

Further to the announcement on 18 June 2008, STM Group PLC (AIM:STM), the cross border financial services provider, today announces that as a result of St George Financial Services and its associated companies achieving the various milestones since its acquisition by STM in June 2008, additional consideration of 107,296 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") are to be issued.

Application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the AIM market of London Stock Exchange plc and dealings are expected to commence on 4th September 2009. The shares will rank pari passu with existing shares in issue.

Following the issue of the new Ordinary Shares, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will comprise 42,861,372 Ordinary Shares. All of the Ordinary Shares carry voting rights and this will be the figure which may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company.
