Dear Shareholder,

Please see below a copy of the notice sent to the London Stock Exchange on 5 July 2011 in relation to a statement provided to the Company by Deloitte LLP regarding its resignation, and the appointment of Ernst & Young as auditors of the Company. Section 519 of the Companies Act 2006 requires an auditor of a quoted company who ceases to hold office to deposit with the company a statement of the circumstances connected with his ceasing to hold office and requires the company to send a copy of that statement of circumstances to its shareholders and other persons who are entitled to receive copies of the company's annual report and accounts.

Accordingly, enclosed with this letter is a copy of the statement of circumstances from the outgoing auditors Deloitte LLP in connection with Deloitte LLP ceasing to hold office, which was deposited with the Company on 30 June 2011 and that is required to be sent you under the Companies Act 2006.

If you have sold or otherwise transferred all of your shares in the Company, please send this document, together with the accompanying documents, as soon as possible to the purchaser or transferee, or to the stockbroker, bank or other agent through whom the sale or transfer was effected, for delivery to the purchaser or transferee.

Yours faithfully

CHANGE OF AUDITOR 5 JULY 2011

Michael Page International plc ('the Company') announces that the Board has appointed Ernst & Young ('EY') as auditors for the Company. With Deloitte LLP having been the Group auditors since 1998, the Board, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, decided that it was appropriate to put the Company audit out to competitive tender.

Following formal proposals and presentations from three firms, EY was successful in this process. Deloitte LLP has consequently resigned as auditor of the Company and as required by section 519(3) of the Companies Act 2006, has deposited with the Company a statement of the circumstances ('statement') connected with its resignation.

Deloitte LLP has confirmed to the Company that there are no circumstances in connection with its resignation that it considers need to be brought to the attention of the Company's shareholders. It is now a requirement of the Companies Act 2006 that a copy of such Statement be sent to all shareholders. The Statement, received by the Company on 30 June 2011, is enclosed with this letter.

The shareholder's letter and Deloitte's Statement have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: www.hemscott.com/nsm.do and are also available on the Company's website: http://investors.michaelpage.co.uk/advisors.
