FCA Update

Plus500, a leading online service provider for retail customers to trade CFDs internationally, notes the movement in its share price following the publication on 6 December 2016 by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") of a note regarding enhancing the conduct of business regime. Industry participants have been requested to provide comments to the FCA's proposals by 7 March 2017.

The Company believes that the topics covered in the note will have a material operational and financial impact on the UK regulated subsidiary which represents approximately 20% of the Groups revenues.

A further announcement will be made in due course in conjunction with a year end trading update.
