("Best of the Best", "BOTB", "the Company" or "the Group")

Exercise of Call Option, Share Cancellation and Director Dealings

Best of the Best plc runs competitions online to win cars and other prizes.

The Company confirms that it has today exercised the call option in the Repurchase Agreement and has bought back 1,045,877 Ordinary Shares at a price of 600 pence per share.

The Company has since cancelled these Ordinary Shares and consequently the issued share capital of the Company is 8,367,024 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. There are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 8,367,024; this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change of interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The Company can also confirm that the Directors of the Board who hold Ordinary Shares have accepted the Tender Offer as follows:

William Hindmarch (and his persons closely associated ("PCA")) have successfully tendered 335,287 Ordinary Shares in the Tender Offer. Accordingly, William Hindmarch now has a beneficial interest in 2,682,301 Ordinary Shares representing 32.06 per cent. of the issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company.
