BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Nov. 21 -- Spark Networks plc (Amex: LOV), a
leading provider of online personals services, announced the results
of its Annual General Meeting held on November 21, 2006.

    All five board nominees were elected to serve as directors of Spark
Networks.  David Siminoff was re-elected to serve as Chairman of the Board.
Following the meeting, the Company's board consists of ten members, nine of whom
are outside directors.
    In addition, shareholders approved the Directors' Remuneration Report; the
reappointment of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors; and gave approval to
receive the Company's accounts for the year ended December 31, 2005.
    Also at the meeting, shareholders in accordance with the recommendation of
Spark Networks' board of directors, approved the Company's Share Repurchase plan
authorizing the potential repurchase of up to an aggregate of approximately
2,000,000 shares.  The repurchases will be done in the open market on the
American Stock Exchange, Frankfurt Stock Exchange and XETRA exchange.  The
authorization to repurchase shares is valid for the next
18 months.
    Any repurchases of ADSs on the American Stock Exchange will be conducted in
compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which
prescribes price, volume and procedural requirements for an issuer purchasing
its shares.  Although any repurchases on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange are not
required to comply with Rule 10b-18, in addition to complying with German
buyback rules, the Company intends, to the extent practicable, to conduct such
repurchases as though the conditions of Rule 10b-18 were applicable.  The
repurchase plan will be funded using the Company's distributable profits as
prescribed by UK law.
    Rule 10b-18 prescribes price, volume and procedural restrictions for an
issuer purchasing its own shares as follows:
    *  The Company must effect all repurchases from or through only one
       broker or dealer per exchange on any single day.
    *  A purchase shall not constitute the opening transaction nor may any
       purchases take place during the last half hour of trading before the
       scheduled close of trading.
    *  The purchase must be conducted at a price that is the highest current
       independent published bid or the last independent sale reported,
       whichever is higher.
    *  The total amount purchased on any given day may not exceed 25 percent
       of the average daily trading volume.  However, once a week, the Company
       may purchase, subject to the other restrictions described above, blocks
       of its securities.(1)

         of at least USD50,000 or is at least 20 round lots of the security
         and totals 150 percent or more of the trading volume for that
         security.  A "round lot" is defined as 100 shares.  Therefore,
         notwithstanding the volume limitation of Rule 10b-18, the Company may
