Valereum Plc

("Valereum" or the "Company")

Reverse Takeover & Suspension of Trading

Valereum Plc, the Gibraltar technology group, refers to the announcement released earlier today relating to the acquisition of the Gibraltar Stock Exchange ("GSX") which, if fully approved and completed, would constitute a reverse takeover for the purposes of the AQSE Access Rulebook.

Accordingly, trading in the Company's shares has been suspended by the Aquis Exchange. This will continue until such time as the Company is able to publish an admission document in relation to the acquisition or confirms that the acquisition is no longer in contemplation.

The admission document will be drawn from existing business plans and budgets for both Valereum and the GSX and we will start work on this now so that it can be ready for a re-admission as soon as possible. This is likely to be early October.

The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this announcement.
