ICAP plc ('ICAP' or the 'Company')

Results of the Second Court Meeting and the Second General Meeting

Further to the announcements by ICAP on 11 November 2015 relating to ICAP's agreement of definitive terms to dispose of its global hybrid voice broking and information business to Tullett Prebon plc (the 'Transaction'), on 21 June 2016 in relation to the amendment to the structure of the Transaction and on 17 August 2016 relating to the publication of a supplementary circular (the 'Supplementary Circular') containing notices to convene a Second Court Meeting and a Second General Meeting on 9 September 2016, ICAP is pleased to announce that, earlier today, ICAP Shareholders confirmed the approval of the scheme of arrangement to be made between the Company and the Scheme Shareholders (the 'Scheme') at the Second Court Meeting and passed the resolution to approve the Newco Reduction of Capital, Demerger and Share Consolidation (the 'Resolution') at the Second General Meeting.

Results of the Second Court Meeting

At the Second Court Meeting, the approval of the Scheme, previously given by ICAP Shareholders on 24 March 2016, was confirmed by the requisite majority on a poll vote. A majority in number of the ICAP Shareholders who voted (either in person or by proxy), representing over 75 per cent. in value of the ICAP Ordinary Shares held by the ICAP Shareholders who voted (either in person or by proxy), voted to confirm the approval of the Scheme. Details of the votes cast are as follows:

As at the voting record time, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 664,537,006 ordinary shares including 11,959,825 treasury shares, which represents 1.80 per cent. of the total issued share capital of the Company. Therefore the total voting rights in the Company as at the voting record time were 652,577,181.

Results of the Second General Meeting

At the Second General Meeting, the Resolution was passed by the requisite majority on a poll vote.

The Resolution was passed as a special resolution. The full text of the Resolution is set out in the Notice of Second General Meeting contained in the Supplementary Circular, which is available on ICAP's website atwww.icap.com. Details of the votes cast are as follows:

* Votes withheld do not count in the total of votes cast.

A copy of the resolutions passed at the Second Court Meeting and the Second General Meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection atwww.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.

Next steps

Implementation of the Scheme remains subject to the satisfaction or (if capable of waiver) waiver of the remaining conditions set out in Part 2 (Explanatory Statement) of the circular published by the Company on 1 March 2016 (the 'March Circular'), as updated by Part I (Letter from the Chairman of ICAP) of the Supplementary Circular, including, among other things, the sanction of the Scheme and confirmation of the ICAP Reduction of Capital by the Court. The Court hearing to sanction the Scheme and confirm the ICAP Reduction of Capital (the 'Scheme Court Hearing') is expected to be held on the sixth Business Day following the date on which the last of the conditions to the Scheme is satisfied or, if capable of waiver, waived.

If the Scheme is sanctioned and the ICAP Reduction of Capital is confirmed at the Scheme Court Hearing and the other conditions to the Scheme have been satisfied or, if capable of waiver, waived, the Scheme is expected to become effective on the same day as it is sanctioned. Cancellation of the listing of ICAP Ordinary Shares on the Official List and admission to trading of the Newco Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange are expected to take place by 8.00 a.m. on the following Business Day.

The expected timetable of remaining principal events remains as set out in the Supplementary Circular. The expected date of the Scheme Court Hearing and each of the other dates and times set out in the Supplementary Circular will depend, among other things, on the date on which the conditions to the Scheme and the Demerger are satisfied or, if capable of waiver, waived. They are accordingly presented as indicative and referable to the date on which those conditions are satisfied or waived (as the case may be). Further details of the conditions are set out in Part II (Explanatory Statement) of the March Circular, as updated by Part I (Letter from the Chairman of ICAP) of the Supplementary Circular.

ICAP will give notice of each of the dates and times, when known, by issuing an announcement through a Regulatory Information Service and by making such announcement available on ICAP's website atwww.icap.com. Further updates or changes to other times or dates indicated in the Supplementary Circular shall be notified in the same manner.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement and not otherwise defined shall, unless defined herein or the context otherwise requires, have the same meanings as given to them in the Supplementary Circular.
