Gains Contract with 3 Ireland

RNS Number:0796Q
United Clearing plc
15 August 2005



For release 7:00am 15 August 2005

United Clearing Plc ("UCL")
Gains Contract with 3 Ireland

UCL, the provider of outsourcing support services to the global cellular
industry, is pleased to announce it has won a contract with Hutchison 3G Ireland
Ltd. ("3 Ireland"), to provide financial clearing and settlement services. The
contract, for an undisclosed amount, is expected to commence this month.

The contract builds on UCL's relationship with 3, Europe's leading video mobile
operator, from whom it has already secured contracts in the UK, Sweden, Denmark
and Australia.

3 Ireland, which formally launched in the Irish market on July 26th, 2005, has
been rolling out a new 3G network over the last two years which offers live
video calling, content and entertainment services while on the move. In December
2004, 3 Ireland signed a national roaming agreement with Vodafone, giving
customers full access to Vodafone's 2G network in the Republic of Ireland,
ensuring the same level of national coverage as Vodafone Ireland's GSM
customers.

Michael van Klink, Finance Director of UCL added: "We are delighted to have
signed another 3 contract, bringing our total number to five. We already provide
3 with a solution that is customised to their processes, through our advanced
clearing and transaction technology platform. We are very much looking forward
to bringing 3 Ireland the same high level of care and service that is provided
to all operators using our platform, for which UCL has become well known."

Stephen Pilkington, Commercial Director, 3 Ireland, said: "We are pleased to be
joining our sister companies from the UK, Sweden, Denmark and Australia in
selecting UCL's financial clearing and settlements service. The feedback from
our sister companies on UCL's professional level of service, advanced technology
platform and experienced team, meant our decision in selecting a financial
clearing house to outsource to, was made all the more easy."

am cofident myself having read thru contracts signed last night particularll the O2 signings in Ireland, Germany and Isle of man. Hoping it might lead to bigger things.

[wiganer] 11/8/2005 10:29

As regards the spread widening to 7p. In the past that's normally been a prelude to it then narrowing to 5p, with the bid moving up 2p. Fingers crossed the pattern repeats. Currently it's gone half way, currently at 6p spread.

[wiganer] 11/8/2005 10:27

Further re Madoff sale. I've just noticed that 550,000 shares which is the lump Madoff "placed" is the same amount as NOIT "placed" on 27 June. It isn't the same stake, but the numerical coincidence is striking. You may recall that directors took up a good chunk of the NOIT "placing", which I took as a pretty bullish sign at the time. I see no reason to be less bullish now.

[e-venturer] 11/8/2005 09:54

as i say that spread has widen to 7p again on lowish volume. 118-125p

[e-venturer] 11/8/2005 09:43

upped offer wonder if news coming mm's now happy they have enough to cope with demand.

[wiganer] 11/8/2005 09:38

yup- guess the Madoff sale didn't hurt...

[e-venturer] 11/8/2005 09:38

even better bid now 118 spread down to 2p again they are definitely encouraging trade again.

[e-venturer] 11/8/2005 09:34

nice tick up in bid think the mm's are prepared to start dealing again.

[wiganer] 11/8/2005 00:07

I dont see the Madoff sale as especially significant. After all, the NOIT selloff at 80p didn't exactly hold back the share price...

Actually, a bit of selling into strength by existing major holders may be a good thing in keeping the rise from getting ahead of itself and then collapsing under its own weight.

As UCL's long term prospects remain great, am not too fussed about the short term anyways.

[rambutan2] 11/8/2005 00:06

no reason not to believe madoff!
previously directors have done same thing.
lack of liquidity can kill a share, madoff are doing themselves and all other holders a favour by feeding the mkt.

[e-venturer] 10/8/2005 18:18

Also meant to ask is it possible that there may be another positive announcement and they don't want to get caught short.

[e-venturer] 10/8/2005 18:16

Wiganer do you agree that the shares have been released to help share liquidity rather than have the mm's just drive the price higher and higher. Couldn't figure out the trades yesterday but now it makes sense.

[wiganer] 10/8/2005 18:10

Apologies- hadn't seen the RNS

[e-venturer] 10/8/2005 18:04

frances2- did you actually read read the release. I have posted it for you as you appear to lazy to going looking yourself.
