300,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.5p per share in the Company ("Ordinary Shares")

With the introduction of a number if new institutional shareholders, the board
believe that the Company would benefit from a share consolidation which should
narrow the bid/offer spread of the Company's shares and make the Company's
shares more attractive to a larger group of potential investors, whilst
retaining the Company's attractiveness to the private investor. It is therefore
the intention of the Company to consolidate its shares and the board therefore
will write to shareholders in due course setting out the terms of the share
consolidation, which is likely to include a consolidation of 100 Ordinary Shares
currently held into one new ordinary share of the Company.

Commenting on the placing, Stephen Hargrave, Chairman of Invox, said: "The board
believe that it is an important step in the Company's development as a public
company to widen its shareholder base and provide greater liquidity in our
shares. The number of institutions who have participated in this placing has I
believe been a great endorsement of the strengths of Invox and its management
team."
