Supporta plc 
("Supporta" or the "Company") 
 
 
 
 
The Board of Supporta, the AIM listed provider of domiciliary care services, 
notes the movement in the Company's share price and wishes to inform the market 
that it has received an approach which may or may not lead to an offer to 
acquire the issued and to be issued share capital of the Company. 
 
 
Shareholders should note however, that the approach is preliminary in nature and 
subject to a number of conditions which may or may not prove capable of being 
satisfied. 
 
 
Accordingly, no assurances can be given that a formal offer will be forthcoming 
or that any transaction will occur. 
 
 
A further announcement will be made in due course.

Dealing disclosure requirements 
 
 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the 
'Code'), if any person is, or becomes, 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in 
1% or more of any class of 'relevant securities' of Supporta, all 'dealings' in 
any 'relevant securities' of that company (including by means of an option in 
respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must 
be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30pm (London time) on the London 
business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement 
will continue until the date on which an offer becomes, or is declared, 
unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which 
the 'offer period' otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant 
to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an 
'interest' in 'relevant securities' of Supporta, they will be deemed to be a 
single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3. 
 
 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all 'dealings' in 'relevant 
securities' of Supporta by Supporta, or by any of its respective 'associates', 
must be disclosed by no later than 12 noon (London time) on the London business 
day following the date of the relevant transaction. 
 
 
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose 'relevant 
securities' 'dealings' should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in 
issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at 
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk. 
 
 
'Interests in securities' arise, in summary, when a person has long economic 
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of 
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an 'interest' by 
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in 
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities. 
 
 
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the 
Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required 
to disclose a 'dealing' under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel. 
 
 
Brewin Dolphin Investment Banking, which is authorised by the Financial Services 
Authority, is acting exclusively for Supporta and no one else and will not be 
responsible to anyone other than Supporta for providing the protections offered 
to clients of Brewin Dolphin Investment Banking or for providing advice in 
relation to matters referred to herein.
