    Libertas confirms that there are no other matters requiring disclosure in relation to Rule 17 and Schedule 2(g) of the AIM Rules. 

    Group Managing Director, Jakob Kinde, has returned to his role as Executive Chairman and Roger Barlow has become non-executive Director
and Deputy Chairman.

    In addition the organisation has been restructured along functional lines of Corporate Finance and Securities/Research throughout the
group, which has enabled considerable cost reduction and a 25% headcount reduction.

    Jakob Kinde said: "I took the helm as Group Managing Director to steer the group through a time of considerable uncertainty; however, I
believe that the business is now coming back onto a stable course, and I would like to be able to spend more time on direction setting, fund
raising and deal making for Libertas Capital, as well as on our clients and transactions. Tim and I have worked together very closely for
the past year: I know that he has the necessary skills, experience and dedication to make a great success of this new role."
