LONDON, February 24, 2010 - Brady plc (BRY.L), the leading supplier of trading and risk management
solutions for metals and commodities, has announced today that The Mitsubishi
Corporation, Tokyo, signed a new deal in 2009 to extend the use of Brady's
trading and risk technology to now include all of the corporation's global
trading of both physical and derivative precious metals.

Mitsubishi Corporation is Japan's largest general trading company (sogo
shosha) with over 200 bases of operations and 500 companies in approximately
80 countries worldwide. Part of Mitsubishi's stated approach to business is
to constantly seek out cutting-edge technologies for its businesses. To this
end Brady was chosen by Mitsubishi International Corporation in New York for
its precious metals and aluminium trading in January 2007.

The new deal will provide Mitsubishi with a single integrated platform
for both physical and derivatives trading and also give improved exchange
connectivity and regulatory compliance for their global activities.

Gavin Lavelle, CEO of Brady, comments: "Mitsubishi is a great client to
work with. They have been using our trading and risk technology in New York
since '07 and have chosen us again for a global implementation. Its
increasing use of our trading and risk technology results from our continuing
investment in our product set and the specialist knowledge of our R&D teams."

Brady provides regulatory compliance (particularly VaR and audit
capabilities), valuations and improved risk management tools including
enhanced mark-to-market reports that present an enterprise-wide view of risk
positions in real-time.
