BUSINESS UPDATE

Record plc ("Record" or "the Company") announces today that it has disposed of its 40% shareholding in the ordinary share capital of Trade Record Ltd ("Trade Record").  Proceeds of the disposal amount to £120,000 which equates to the Company's total investment at cost.

In accordance with the terms contained in the Trade Record shareholders' agreement, Record's shares were offered to the remaining Trade Record shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings, being Leslie Hill and Bob Noyen, both of whom are directors of Record, and Rebecca Venis, a director of Trade Record and an employee of a subsidiary of the Company.  The Company has agreed to sell its 40% shareholding in equal proportions to Leslie Hill and Rebecca Venis.

Trade Record was established in March 2019 to offer pay-to-enter competitions in which subscribers trade virtual money across asset classes, with the best realised trade performance determining a cash prize winner.  Whilst initially aimed at activities within the investment and financial arena, Trade Record now plans to focus on a broader scope of sectors including gaming and sporting events to evolve the business.  In light of this change in direction, the Company's board (other than Leslie Hill and Bob Noyen) has decided that it is in the best interests of Record's shareholders to divest of the Company's shareholding in Trade Record in order to focus on the current opportunities available to build its core business.

The Company's aggregate investment of £120,000 had been satisfied through existing cash resources and the sale of its shareholding will be settled fully in cash.  Trade Record has not generated any profits since inception.

Ms Hill and Ms Venis are deemed to be related parties of the Company, and the above transaction is therefore classified as a smaller related party transaction as defined in LR 11.1.10 R.

Record will announce its third quarter trading update on 22 January 2021.

Notes to Editors

Record plc

Founded in 1983, Record is an independent, specialist currency manager and has established a market leading position in managing Currency Hedging and Currency for Return for institutional clients.

The Group has four principal reporting lines:

-   Dynamic Hedging, where Record seeks to eliminate the impact of currency movements on elements of clients' investment portfolios that are denominated in foreign currencies when these movements are expected to result in an economic loss to the client, but not to do so when they are expected to result in an economic gain;

-    Passive Hedging, where Record seeks to eliminate fully or partially the economic impact of currency movements on elements of clients' investment portfolios that are denominated in foreign currencies;

-    Currency for Return, in which Record enters into currency contracts for clients with the objective of generating positive returns; and

-    Multi-Product, where the client mandate includes combined hedging and return-seeking objectives.

Record (LSE: REC) was admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange on 3^rd December 2007.
