                             RECOMMENDED CASH OFFER

                                       by

                                GLU MOBILE INC.

                                      for

                              SUPERSCAPE GROUP PLC



             Compulsory Acquisition of remaining Superscape Shares



On 25 January 2008, Glu Mobile Inc. (Glu), made a recommended cash offer for the
entire issued share capital of Superscape Group plc (Superscape).



The directors of Glu are pleased to announce that, as at 15:00 (London time) on
20 March 2008, valid acceptances of the Offer had been received in respect of a
total of 162,274,225 Superscape Shares, representing approximately 88.62 per
cent. of the existing issued share capital of Superscape. On 23 January 2008,
the directors of Glu announced that they had received irrevocable undertakings
and a letter of intent to accept the Offer in respect of 62,186,230 Superscape
Shares, representing approximately 33.96 per cent. of the existing issued share
capital of Superscape. Valid acceptances have been received in respect of all of
these Superscape Shares and these are reflected in the total above. In addition,
Glu holds 7,965,212 Superscape Shares, representing 4.35 per cent. of the
existing issued share capital of Superscape, that were acquired through share
purchases made on Glu's behalf by Panmure Gordon since posting of the Offer
Document, and that have been certified as meeting the requirements of Rule 10 of
the Code and can therefore be counted as valid acceptances under the Offer.



On 7 March 2008, the directors of Glu declared the offer unconditional in all
respects and announced that the Offer would remain open for acceptances until
15:00 (London time) on 21 March 2008. As at 15:00 (London time) on 20 March
2008, Glu owned or had received acceptances in respect of a total of 170,239,437
Superscape Shares representing approximately 92.97 per cent of the existing
issued share capital of Superscape. Accordingly, the directors have decided that
the Offer will close at 15:00 (London time) on 21 March 2008 and will not be
capable of acceptance after 15:00 (London time) on 21 March 2008.



The directors of Glu announce that as soon as reasonably practicable Glu will
apply the provisions of sections 979 to 991 (inclusive) of the Companies Act
2006 to acquire compulsorily all remaining Superscape Shares on the same terms
as the Offer.  Accordingly, in due course Glu will be posting formal notices
pursuant to section 980(1) of the Companies Act 2006 to all Superscape
Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer. Superscape Shareholders who
have not made an application to court under section 986 of the Companies Act
2006 within six weeks from the date of the formal notice will have their
Superscape Shares transferred to Glu pursuant to the compulsory acquisition
procedure under the Companies Act 2006.



Settlement of the consideration due under the Offer will be effected on or
before 4 April 2008 for Superscape Shareholders who have already validly
accepted the Offer.



Application has been made to the UK Listing Authority for the cancellation of
listing of the Superscape Shares on the Official List and to the London Stock
Exchange for cancellation of admission to trading of the Superscape Shares on
its market for listed securities, in each case to take effect on 8 April 2008.



Glu also intends to apply for the re-registration of Superscape as a private
limited company under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act 2006.



Terms used in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the
Offer Document dated 25 January 2008, unless the context requires otherwise.
