Recommended proposal for the acquisition of Cybit Holdings Plc by Cyberspace 
Bidco Limited to be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement 
 
Court sanction of Scheme of Arrangement 
 
 
 
Cybit Holdings Plc ("Cybit" or the "Company") announces that, the High Court of 
Justice has today made an order sanctioning the scheme of arrangement by which 
Cyberspace Bidco Limited's acquisition of Cybit is to be implemented (the 
"Scheme"). 
 
 
In order for the Scheme to become effective, the Court will now need to confirm 
the associated reduction of capital of Cybit at a second court hearing which is 
due to take place on 21 January 2010. It is expected that the last day of 
dealings in Cybit Shares will be 20 January 2010 and that the admission to 
trading of Cybit Shares on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange will be 
cancelled at 8.00 a.m. on 22 January 2010, the day following the anticipated 
Effective Date of the Scheme. 
 
 
A request has been made to the London Stock Exchange to cancel the admission of 
Cybit Shares to the London Stock Exchange's AIM market with effect from the day 
following the Effective Date. 
 
A detailed timetable of events for the Scheme is set out in the scheme document 
dated 15 December 2009 (the "Scheme Document"). 
 
 
Copies of the Scheme Document are available for inspection during normal 
business hours on any business day at the offices of Lovells LLP, Atlantic 
House, Holborn Viaduct, London EC1A 2FG up to and including the Effective Date. 
 
 
Words and expressions defined in the Scheme Document shall, unless the context 
provides otherwise, have the same meanings in this announcement.

Dealing disclosure requirements 
 
 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or becomes, 
"interested" (directly or indirectly) in one per cent. or more of any class of 
"relevant securities" of Cybit or Bidco, 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 3.30 p.m. on the business day following the date of 
the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the Effective 
Date or until the date on which the Scheme lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or 
on which the "Offer Period" otherwise ends (or, if Bidco elects to effect the 
Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer, until the date on which such Takeover 
Offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is 
otherwise withdrawn or on which the relevant "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 
Cybit or Bidco, 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 Cybit or Bidco by Cybit or Bidco, or by any of their respective 
associates, must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon on the 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 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, please contact an independent financial 
adviser authorised under FSMA, consult the Panel's website at 
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk or contact the Panel on telephone number + 44 (0) 20 
7638 0129.
