CORPORATE UPDATE 
 
 
15 June 2009 - Medical Marketing International Group plc ("MMI" or the 
"Company") (AIM:MMG), the life sciences company focused on the development of 
drugs for cancer, today provides an update on the funding position of the 
Company together with various other related announcements. 
 
 
The Company has had further discussions with its advisors and with certain other 
professional organisations that are independent of the Company. In an effort to 
realise value for all stakeholders whilst recognising the currently unresolved 
employment claims of David Best, previously Executive Chairman of the Company, 
the Board of Directors is to significantly reduce the cost base of the business 
whilst: 
  *  continuing to explore potential merger/acquisition opportunities with third 
  parties; 
  *  reviewing the disposal of assets to raise capital; and 
  *  progressing discussions regarding further fundraising. 
 
 
 
In this regard, the Company announces that Chris Banks and James Brenton, both 
Non-executive Directors, have stepped down from the Board with immediate effect. 
The Board would like to thank both Chris and James for their significant and 
valued contributions during their time on the Board. As a result, the 
responsibilities of the Company's Audit, Nomination and Remuneration Committees 
have been assumed by the full Board. 
 
 
The Company also announces that Mark Burton, Chief Technical Officer, will step 
down from the Board at the end of the calendar year, following completion of his 
contractual employment notice period. 
 
 
Finally the Company announces that it has appointed Nabarro LLP as the Company's 
corporate legal advisers. 
 
 
A further update will be made in due course.
