Date 19/11/2009

The Admission Committee of the Mercado Alternativo Bursátil (MAB) has submitted to the Board of MAB a favourable assessment report on the eligibility of Imaginarium for admission to the market’s segment for Growth Companies, following a thorough review of all the information presented by the company. For the share offering to take place Imaginarium will need the definitive approval by the MAB’s Board.

The Informative Report of Imaginarium - a Spanish multinational that specialises in children’s educational toys – is already available at www.bolsasymercados.es /mab, where visitors can find information about the company.

MAB thus extends its reach to enterprises that seek financing and intend to boost their stocks’ liquidity, enhance their visibility among the investors and which up to now have not considered a stock exchange listing due to the requirements and procedures a listing involves. MAB offers a financing alternative for Growth Companies and a diversification alternative for investors.

MAB’s segment for Growth Companies has been promoted by BME to meet the demands of certain shares which, due to their specific features, require special treatment. The market relies on the work of 23 Registered Advisers who assess the eligibility of candidate enterprises to list on the Market and assist them to produce the information required at any time.

By having their shares traded on MAB, these enterprises will be able to raise capital for new projects, obtain an objective valuation, expand their shareholder base, allow current investors to sell their shares and rely on a new instruments to boost the liquidity in their shares. The development of MAB should provide small capitalisation enterprises with additional benefits. This could be achieved by introducing stricter management practices, enriching its corporate culture and introducing greater transparency and enhanced visibility and projection vis-à-vis the different economic and social agents.
