PURECIRCLE LIMITED

("PureCircle" or the "Company")

Placing of £40 million to support accelerated growth

PureCircle (LSE: PURE), the world's leading producer of natural high intensity
sweetener, Reb A, announces the placing of 20,000,000 new ordinary shares of the
Company (the "Placing Shares") at a price of £2.00 each (the "Placing"), raising
£40 million (approximately US$67 million) for the Company, before expenses.

Background to the Placing

Since US Food and Drug Administration "Generally Recognised as Safe" clearance
for high purity Reb A to be used as a food and beverage ingredient was granted
in December 2008, a range of stevia-sweetened products have been launched in the
USA and performed well, securing strong sales. For example, stevia-sweetened
"tabletop" products have secured 10% of the USA tabletop sweetener market.
Similarly, sales of PepsiCo's SoBe Lifewater beverage flavours sweetened with
Reb A, which were launched in 2009, are outperforming the category (Source:
Nielsen).

With continuing pressure for the reduction of calories in food and beverages,
PureCircle's discussions with both current and potential clients have led to the
expectation that such clients are planning launches of stevia-sweetened products
and line extensions in a wider range and larger size in 2010 and 2011.

The Company believes that ingredients in mainstream food and beverage products
need to be supported by economically viable mass market pricing, scaled and
secure supply and consumer demand. Accordingly, with the proceeds of the
Placing, PureCircle intends to launch initiatives in all three areas.

In addition the Placing is expected to increase the liquidity in the Company's
shares.

Use of proceeds

The net proceeds of the Placing will be used as follows:


* US$40 million to expand and further strengthen the Group's supply chain and
working capital
* US$25 million in marketing and branding initiatives with a view to
establishing a strong ingredient brand closely associated with the Company

The Company believes that widespread adoption of stevia by major food and
beverage companies will require enhanced working capital support from PureCircle
in the form of larger inventories and increased receivables resulting from
higher sales volumes. To support its global clients, PureCircle intends to hold
finished goods inventories in all key sales markets.

PureCircle plans to accelerate the expansion of its production capacity,
initially with a new stevia extraction facility in Paraguay, South America. It
is expected that work will start on this early in FY 2011. In addition the
Company intends to invest further in proprietary leaf development and expansion
as part of its global leaf diversification programme.

During 2010 PureCircle plans to invest approximately US$25 million to implement
a marketing and branding campaign focused on raising consumer awareness of the
benefits of stevia. The Company's aim is to integrate the marketing into its
customers' launch plans. The stevia ingredient brand positioning will be aligned
closely to PureCircle, thereby creating additional brand equity for the
Company.

The Company's marketing plans are underpinned by the findings of a nationwide US
consumer research programme commissioned by PureCircle in May 2009. This was
undertaken by LaunchForce, a US consumer research firm. The research findings
are being shared with PureCircle's major clients and partners. The Company
believes that the findings and PureCircle's marketing plans have been well
received by clients. More information about the research findings can be found
by viewing the webinar recently held with the LaunchForce CEO that can be
accessed from www.purecircle.com.

Following completion of the Placing, the number of shares in issue will increase
from 132,723,044 to 152,723,044 (of which 44,640 are currently held by the
Company in treasury (in respect of which no voting rights may be exercised)).

Details of the Placing

The Placing, which is being carried out under the existing powers of the
directors, is conditional, inter alia, on completion of a placing agreement
entered into between the Company, Hanson Westhouse Limited, Mirabaud Securities
LLP and Liberum Capital Limited.

The Placing has not been underwritten. Application has been made for admission
of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that
Admission will take place at 8.00 a.m. on 20 November 2009.

Assuming that settlement and Admission occurs, the Placing will raise £40
million (approximately US$67 million) for the Company, before expenses. The
funds will be used to support and accelerate PureCircle's position in the global
stevia sweetener industry.

The Placing Shares will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in
all respects with the existing ordinary shares in the share capital of the
Company.

Commenting on the Placing, the Company's Chairman, Paul Selway-Swift, said "We
are delighted by the support shown by existing and new shareholders for the
Placing, which was substantially oversubscribed. We see this as a strong vote of
confidence in our growth story, underpinned by the rapidly developing global
stevia market. I look forward to reporting on further progress in the future."

Commenting on the Placing, the Company's CEO, Magomet Malsagov, said "We are
determined to maintain our position at the forefront of the stevia industry as
its growth accelerates in 2010 and 2011. Strengthened by the funding from the
Placing we are well placed to support the exciting growth plans of our
clients."
