                     Caplay PLC ("Caplay" or "the Company")

                                 Option Expiry


On 26th July 2005 the Company granted Mr. T Ramsden an option over 35 million
shares in the Company, exercisable in full or in part at 2p (17.5 million
shares) and 5p per share (17.5 million shares). The option period for exercise
under the option agreement has now expired.

In addition, the Company was granted a number of options in Private Trading
Systems Inc ("PVTM") which expire on 2 August 2006 and require a minimum of five
business dates notice. The Company has decided that, given the Company's
existing equity interest in PVTM, it is not in the interest of Shareholders to
exercise its option in PVTM, and consequently, the option has expired under the
terms of the Option Deed agreement.

The Company retains its holding of 722,900 shares in PVTM. PVTM's shares are
traded on the Pink Sheets over-the-counter market in the US and as at close of
business on 26 July 2006 were trading at $8.02 per share.

The Company has not entered into any new option agreements with Mr. T Ramsden.
