The Core Business Plc
Trading on PLUS
The Core Business Plc is pleased to announce that its ordinary shares have been admitted to trading on 'PLUS' (under the
same trading symbol as AIM: CORE ), with Winterflood Securities and Teather & Greenwood as market makers. 'PLUS' is a
new independent London-based equity market service provided by PLUS Markets Group plc. ' PLUS' is based on a
quote-driven trading system and currently trades over 1000 small and mid-cap company shares representing a combined
market capitalisation of over £200 billion.
The Company's ordinary shares will continue to be quoted and traded on AIM and trading through the PLUS platform is
intended to enhance investor choice, improve liquidity for shareholders and provide greater access to investors.
The Core Business Chief Executive, Stirling Murray said
"Our listing on PLUS should heighten the profile of The Core Business, which we believe should help to increase our
liquidity and broaden our shareholder base. Our recently announced acquisition of Amirose will significantly enhance the
Company's strategic development, whilst also bringing in a new group of shareholders, so increased dealing ability
through using PLUS makes a great deal of sense."

Notes to Editors:
The Core Business was established in May 2004 by Stirling Murray to create, develop, launch and distribute personal
care and beauty brands. It also provides consultancy and brand management services. The Core Business listed on AIM in
March 2006 under the ticker `CORE.' On 3 July 2007 The Core Business announced that it had entered into a conditional
agreement to acquire, subject to shareholders' consent and Admission of the enlarged share capital of the Company
to trading on AIM, the entire issued share capital of Amirose International Limited. The Directors believe that
the acquisition of Amirose, which brings its own portfolio of brands, the ability to `white-label' products and an
established distribution and logistics facility, represents a good opportunity to develop this strategy. The
Directors believe that Core Business' network of retail contacts will help to facilitate the entry of Amirose brands
into new channels of distribution and Amirose will provide Core Business with access to low cost manufacturing and
packaging.
