Peel Hunt Limited

("Peel Hunt" or the "Company")

Purchase of shares by Employee Benefit Trust

The Company and its group (the "Group") have an established Employee Benefit Trust (the "EBT") in respect of the Group's share plans which is funded by the Group and has the power to acquire ordinary shares from the Group or in the open market to meet the Group's future obligations under these plans. The EBT is a discretionary trust for the benefit of employees. The Company announces that it has initially provided a recommendation (the "Recommendation") to the independent trustee of the EBT, to acquire up to 1% of the issued share capital of the Company over the next twelve months to satisfy share awards to employees. Staff equity ownership and incentivisation have been key to the success of the Group in the past and the directors believe will continue to be crucial to future success. The Recommendation has been given in a manner which will allow the EBT to make purchases through close periods. The Company will either announce, or disclose in its Annual Report, any amendments or updates to the Recommendation.
