                             VEBNET (HOLDINGS) PLC

                          Agreement with Prudential UK

Vebnet, the AIM-traded market leader in employee benefit technology solutions,
announces that it has signed an agreement with Prudential UK, which manages more
than 4,000 occupational pension schemes, to build the Pru@Work system, an
innovative employee benefit solution for the corporate market. IBM will host the
system.

Pru@Work, which is an enhancement of Vebnet's core FIX&FLEX(R) product, will
deliver flexible benefits, Total Remuneration Statements and voluntary benefits
to employers looking to introduce new employee benefit packages or enhance their
existing offer.

Pru@Work will be marketed through Prudential UK's existing relationships with
employee benefit consultants. It will include a wide range of products and
providers for employers and their employees to choose from, including private
medical insurance; personal accident insurance; dental plans; protection
products; travel insurance; life assurance; health care cash plans; child care;
leisure and retail vouchers; as well as personal computers as part of the
Government's popular home computing initiative. In addition, Pru@Work offers
both a full range of website marketing communication tools, and education and
financial planning tools.

Gerry O'Neill, Vebnet's CEO, stated "We are delighted to be signing up with both
Prudential and IBM and share their view that worksite marketing represents a
significant growth opportunity. This opportunity is further enhanced by the
strength and quality of the Prudential and IBM brands, in combination with
Vebnet's market leading technology. This partnership agreement reinforces
Vebnet's position as the provider of choice and delivers what must be regarded
as a truly innovative proposition."

The agreement is expected to contribute materially to turnover in the year to 30
June 2006.

technology solutions and services to support the communication, delivery and
