+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| On 1 July 2009 Freedom4 Group plc announced it had agreed to acquire Daisy |
| Communications Limited, Vialtus Holdings Limited, shares in Vialtus |
| Solutions Limited not owned by Vialtus Holdings Limited and debt owed by |
| Vialtus Solutions Limited. The Company also announced its intention to |
| change its name to "Daisy Group plc". |
| This transaction constitutes a reverse take-over under AIM Rule 14. |
| The strategy of the Enlarged Group is to create, through a combination of |
| further acquisitions and organic growth, one of the largest UK providers |
| to the SME and mid-market of telecommunications services and solutions. |
| The Enlarged Group intends to provide its customers with a product set |
| including access, hosting, voice, managed services and mobile. |
| The Enlarged Group intends to provide a comprehensive portfolio of |
| products from a single |
| operating platform and on a single bill. The Directors believe that, with |
| the exception of British |
| Telecom, few, if any, other independent UK business telecommunications |
| operators currently provide such a comprehensive offering to SME and |
| mid-market customers. |
| In addition, the Enlarged Group will seek to cross-sell new products to |
| existing customers and to create a "one-stop-shop" for converged |
| communications solutions. The Directors believe that such an offering will |
| also help to reduce customer churn. |
| Daisy's main country of operation is the United Kingdom |
