    Rule 8.4 Announcement


    Further to the announcement on 4 August 2008, in relation to the recommended cash offer for SiRViS IT plc to be made by Strand Partners
on behalf of SiRViS IT Holdings Limited (the Rule 2.5 Announcement) and the announcement, issued on 5 August 2008, in accordance with Rule
8.1 of the City Code in relation to the purchase by Trident Private Equity Fund II LP ("TPEII") of 980,000 SiRViS IT Shares, representing
approximately 29.70 per cent. of the total share capital of SiRViS IT, from Oryx International Growth Fund Limited, SiRViS IT Holdings makes
the following disclosure in accordance with Rule 8.4 of the City Code.  

    SiRViS IT Holdings has received an irrevocable undertaking from TPEII (the "TPEII Irrevocable") in respect of the 980,000 SiRViS IT
Shares it acquired from Oryx, representing approximately 29.70 per cent. of the total share capital of SiRViS IT. The irrevocable
undertaking will only cease to be binding if a competing offer is made by another party for the entire issued share capital of SiRViS IT
which exceeds 170 pence per SiRViS IT Share and is recommended for acceptance by the Independent Directors. The irrevocable undertaking
commits TPEII to accept the offer within eighteen days of the issue of the Offer Document.

    As the TPEII Irrevocable directly replaces the irrevocable undertaking previously received from NAV LLP (on behalf of Oryx), which was
disclosed in the Rule 2.5 Announcement on 4 August 2008, there has been no change to the level of irrevocable undertakings to accept the
Offer that SiRViS IT Holdings has received, which remains at 1,926,331 SiRViS IT Shares, representing approximately 58.37 per cent. of
SiRViS IT's total share capital.

    Terms defined in the Rule 2.5 Announcement have the same meanings as in this announcement.
