Form 8 Enclosure


Cantor Fitzgerald Europe is the beneficial owner of 8,127,678 Eidos PLC ordinary
shares.  These shares are held to hedge Contract for Differences ("CFD") and
Spreadbets positions for clients.

A Long CFD is a product where the client to whom the product is sold is taking a
long economic interest in the underlying share price such that the client can
realise a gain if the price of the underlying securities rises above the
reference price.



A Spread Bet is a product where the client to whom the product is sold can
realise a gain or a loss depending on whether the price of the underlying
security increases above or falls below the reference price.  The client's
Spread bet position is described as his "stake".  A "stake" is expressed in
pounds (sterling) per "point" and a "point" is the price in pence of the
underlying shares.  A client with a "stake" of #100 per point will make a gain
of #100 for every penny increase in the underlying shares and he/she has an
exposure equivalent to 10,000 shares.

A purchaser of a Spread Bet or a CFD contract will realise a gain if the price
of the underlying security goes up. A seller of a Spread Bet or a CFD contract
will realise a gain if the price of the underlying security goes down.
