West Malling, UK, 25 January 2008: Phoqus Pharmaceuticals plc (AIM: PQS)
("Phoqus" or the "Company"), the drug development company, announces that on 23
January 2008, Dr Peter Johnson, Chief Financial Officer of Phoqus, transferred
106,706 ordinary shares ("Shares") in the Company to exercising option-holders
in his capacity as nominee shareholder.



As previously announced, share options granted by the Company on 3 November 2005
were to be satisfied by the transfer of Shares held by certain institutional
shareholders. In order to facilitate the transfer of Shares to option-holders,
some of the institutional shareholders transferred Shares to Dr Peter Johnson,
Chief Financial Officer, to hold the Shares as their nominee pending exercise of
the share options by the option-holders, after which he would transfer the
relevant Shares to the exercising option-holders.



Following the above transfer of 106,706 Shares to the exercising option-holders
on 23 January 2008, 2,537 Shares are now held by Dr Johnson in his capacity as
nominee, representing less than 0.01 per cent of the issued share capital of the
Company.  Dr Johnson's beneficial ownership of Phoqus Shares remains unchanged
at 294,926 ordinary Shares, or 0.64 per cent of the issued share capital of the
Company.
