ACP Capital Bonus Awards


2 April 2008


The board ("the Board") of ACP Capital Limited ("ACP Capital" or the "Company":
APL.LN) has the discretionary authority to award annual cash bonuses of up to 3
times base salaries, with no vesting requirements (as detailed on pages 25/26 of
the Company's Admission Document of 20 December 2005 which is available on the
Company's website). The Board has, therefore, awarded the equivalent of circa 2
times base salaries for the Company's 2007 performance, structured as described
below.

The Board has authorised the Company to purchase circa 2 million of its own
ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each (the "Shares") for a total consideration of
�1.7 million (at an average price per share of �0.85) which will be awarded to
certain employees of ACP Capital Limited and ACP Capital UK LLP, its advisory
subsidiary, in lieu of cash bonuses. These shares will be subject to a vesting
period expiring on 31 December 2008. This includes �400,000 for Derek Vago,
�350,000 for Nikolaj Larsen and �350,000 for Eric Youngblood, each of whom is an
executive director of the Company.

The shareholdings of the directors in the Company following these acquisitions,
will be as follows:

                          of Director                Company (1)                Capital (1)

(1) subject to vesting of the Shares as outlined above


Following the purchase of the Shares in the period from 11 to 12 March 2008, the
Company will hold 2,000,915 shares in treasury in order to satisfy the vesting
requirements for employee stock awards, representing its total holding of
treasury shares and will have a total of 197,531,026 shares in issue (excluding
these treasury shares). The total number of voting rights in the Company is
therefore 197,531,026 until the vesting date stated above.

About ACP Capital

ACP Capital (LSE AIM: APL) is a Jersey-incorporated specialist integrated
finance and asset management company focused on providing equity and debt
products to European small and medium sized enterprises (the "SMEs").

ACP Capital aims to benefit from opportunities generated from the strong growth
in SME demand for integrated finance, combined with the reduced appetite for SME
lending among traditional banks owing to higher regulatory capital requirements.

In order to better serve the SME markets directly, ACP Capital is establishing
localised operating platforms (the "Platforms") in its key markets of Germany,
France and the United Kingdom. These include to-date Leasecom, a leading SME
finance provider in France, and GCI, a specialist private equity firm for the
German SME market. Further Platforms are being evaluated currently to serve the
remaining key markets.
