Official announcement of name change to 4imprint Group plc
Bemrose, the UK's leading supplier of promotional marketing
products, is pleased to announce that it has officially changed
its name to 4imprint. Trading will commence under the new name
at the start of business on Monday 21st August utilising the
ticker/symbol 'FOUR', and will continue to be listed under
Support Services.
The change of name was approved at the Company's Extraordinary
General Meeting held on 31st July 2000. The new name, 4imprint,
more closely reflects the new business to business strategy of
the Group and removes the name Bemrose which was associated with
the Group's printing businesses, the last of which has recently
been sold. The group recently announced a trading partnership
with Lands' End, Inc ('Lands' End'), a leading North American
direct merchandising company which sells more apparel online than
any other clothing company worldwide.
Replacement share certificates will be distributed shortly.

'I am delighted that now the disposals have been successfully
completed we are able to rename the group 4imprint and focus on
our core competency of distributing Imprinted Promotional
Products. The new name properly reflects the growing awareness
of our brand on a global basis and we can take full advantage of
the opportunities currently available through our Lands' End
collaboration and other business interests.'
