For immediate release April 17, 2007


EBT MOBILE CHINA PLC
("EBT Mobile" or the "Company")

NEW OPTION SCHEME and
SPECIAL OPTION GRANT

EBT Mobile, a leading China-based retail chain selling mobile phones and related
products and services, announces that it has established a new share option
scheme (the EBT Mobile China plc Share Option Scheme) with a pool of up to four
million of the Company's ordinary shares. The Board of Directors has
responsibility for supervising the scheme and the grant of options under its
terms.

Under the scheme, the options vest in 3 equal tranches, on 1 March 2008, 1 March
2009 and 1 March 2010 and are performance based, requiring the Company's share
price to increase over pre-set targets with the first target being #0.36. The
option allows for a share price increase hurdle which is missed on an annual
vesting date to be satisfied at a later date. The exercise price of each
ordinary share under the option is its nominal value of #0.001.

In addition to the EBT Mobile China plc Share Option Scheme, the Company has
today made a special grant of an option over 1 million shares to Stephen
Davidson, a non-executive director of the Company. The option vests in 3 equal
tranches annually over a period of 3 years commencing on the date Mr. Davidson
joined the Company's Board and is performance based, requiring the Company's
share price to increase over pre-set targets based upon the Company's share
price when Mr. Davidson joined the Board, with the first target being #0.30. The
option allows for a share price increase hurdle which is missed on an annual
vesting date to be satisfied at a later date. The exercise price of each
ordinary share under option is its nominal value of #0.001.
Did not take them long to get their noses in the trough!

BB,

please keep 'the Lord' away from here - my nerves couldn't stand it if he bought!

Onwards, and upwards, a solid long term hold this is looking to be.

...... but slightly more selling ....

[divinausa1] 10/4/2007 13:54

plenty of buying today but little movement so far....

[azalea] 06/4/2007 20:33

"Tidler to watch" nah, potential giant to buy(DYOR).

Allianz SE, Audley European Opportunities, Gartmore and J.O. Hambro, were well ahead of the game here having taken/accumulated stakes of 16%,16%,14.8% and 4% respectively. Hence it comes as no surprise to read that a brace of brokers have followed the results up with 'Buy' reccs.

[hattori_hanzo] 06/4/2007 11:43

divinausa - Good find. Thanks.

Tiddler to watch

EBT Mobile China, keen to become the Carphone Warehouse of China, took on 1¾p at 31½p after strong annual results inspired "buy" advice from Evolution Securities and Panmure Gordon. Panmure described EBT as an attractive and well-managed play on the world's largest mobile phone market, where penetration has reached only 35 per cent.

[britishbear] 05/4/2007 09:15

Holy cow - the Lord has looked in.

I have invested in EBT almost since it floated Stevo. A fine share with a great future but I am not sure it is one for a T10 (although I may be proved wrong as it did gap up to the high 30's once).

Given your track record you have me worried now LOL.

[hattori_hanzo] 05/4/2007 09:13

Well, I was very pleased with the results. EBT on course to become an industry big hitter, imo. Definately bagger potential from here.

[lord santafe] 05/4/2007 09:07

No need to sell when the level2 has improved to 4 vrs 3

[azalea] 05/4/2007 09:01

10 years. I'm not waiting that long, make it 5 years(tops) and by then at least a 5 bagger!

[this_is_me] 05/4/2007 08:38

I bought some this morning. The results look great and the whole year results understate the end of year position. It could easily become a huge company in 10 years.

[divinausa1] 05/4/2007 07:33

Checking the chart this time last year on results rose 8p ish that would be nice :)

Really good - should move up a fair bit today.

WFL.

[sheeneqa] 05/4/2007 06:54

Hope they are selling a few of these tambien.

[flashheart] 05/4/2007 06:43

I think the 'Carphone Warehouse of the Far East' tag which has been applied to EBT for the future is certainly not out of place.

[azalea] 05/4/2007 06:38

A good result. EBT rapidly expanding footprint via its number of stores and presence in cities bodes well. Equally exciting is its closer ties with China Mobile and internationally known foreign giants - Motorola and Nokia. The demand for mobile phones in China is in its infancy and not just confined to adults, hence the market there has to be reckoned in terms of circa 1bn!

I'm no accountant, but my gut feeling is that EBT will be in profit in 2007 with potentially an inestimable number of sales at its strategically placed and increasing number of sales outlets.
