Share Price Movement

Dec 16, 2014

LONDON, MONTREAL and NEW YORK (16 December 2014) — Optimal Payments Plc (LSE AIM: OPAY, "Optimal Payments" or the "Company") notes the recent weakness in its share price and provides the following statement.

Further to the trading update in November, the Company confirms that trading in the year to date has been strong and expects Optimal Payments' financial results for 2014 to be at least in line with market expectations. The Company's NETELLER and NETBANX businesses are both expected to deliver good revenue growth and profitability in the year to 31 December 2014 and the integration of the US businesses, acquired in July, is progressing well. Optimal Payments continues to deliver on its stated strategic objectives and remains confident in the outlook for organic and accretive inorganic growth.

Dennis Jones, Non-executive Chairman of Optimal Payments, added: "I'm delighted we have selected Brian McArthur-Muscroft as our new CFO, after an extensive and rigorous search process. With a clear mind to the future, the Board wanted a strong candidate with a proven track record of contributing to the growth of large companies who could assist us with our own ambitious growth strategy."

The appointment of Brian McArthur-Muscroft as Chief Financial Officer and to the board of Optimal Payments was fully endorsed by the Board, following a comprehensive search for a suitable candidate by a leading executive search firm.
