LONDON and PARIS, April 5, 2011 - Computershare Limited (ASX:CPU) has agreed to purchase Servizio Titoli
SpA, Italy's leading provider of issuer services, from the London Stock
Exchange Group PLC.

Operating since 1995, Servizio Titoli has approximately 50 employees
based in Milan, Turin and Rome, delivering meeting and dividend register
management services to more than 50% of Italy's listed companies.

"The agreement to purchase Servizio Titoli follows through on our
commitment to build our Continental European business, as reflected in the
recent separation of management of Continental Europe from the United
Kingdom
, Channel Islands, Ireland and Africa", said Stuart Crosby,
Computershare's CEO. "Our global clients expect us to be able to offer them
services across the world, and this acquisition materially enhances our
Italian offering. We support our clients in over 20 countries on five
continents."

Steffen Herfurth, Computershare's Group Managing Director for Continental
Europe said: 'We're really excited to be extending our footprint in
Continental Europe with this acquisition. As the leading provider in the
Italian market, Servizio Titoli is a perfect fit for our business and
continues our strategy of offering premium services across major CE
countries."

Computershare already owns Georgeson, a leading global proxy solicitation
business and an established brand in the Italian marketplace.

Computershare is practiced at the integration of acquisitions, having
successfully undertaken over 80 globally in the past 15 years. Existing
clients of Servizio Titoli can expect service to continue as usual.

The acquisition is expected to complete in mid May following satisfaction
of various formal conditions.
