29 April 2009

The Independent Directors note the recent rise in the Company's share price. Further to the announcement on 30 March 2009, the Company has engaged in discussions with LearnVantage Limited ('LearnVantage') which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the Company (the 'Approach'). The Independent Directors have concluded that the cash element of the proposed offer of 8c per share would not be recommended. Whilst discussions with LearnVantage in relation to its approach are ongoing, no agreement has been reached to increase this price.

Accordingly, it may take some time to ascertain whether an offer for the Company may be forthcoming. A further announcement in relation to the Approach will be made if and when appropriate.

The Independent Directors of ThirdForce comprises of Mike Newton, Carol Clark and Edwin Robinson. Neither Eimer McGovern nor Alan Maguire previously referred to as being part of the 'Committee of Independent Directors' are deemed Independent Directors and do not form part of the 'Committee of Independent Directors'.
