Directorate Change

4imprint Group PLC 10 October 2003 Press Release 10 October 2003 4imprint Group plc ('4imprint' or 'the Company') Board changes and withdrawal of EGM requisition The Board announced on 23 September 2003 that an Extraordinary General Meeting had been requisitioned to replace four non-executive directors of 4imprint with three nominees proposed by HIP-IV Incorporated ('Hanover'). Ongoing discussions with Hanover and other major shareholders have resulted in agreement regarding the structure of the Board of 4imprint going forward. Under this agreement, Edward Bramson of Hanover has been invited to become Non-Executive Chairman, while Matthew Peacock, also of Hanover, and Ian Brindle, former UK Chairman of PricewaterhouseCoopers, have been invited to become Non-Executive Directors. Nick Temple will remain on the Board as Non-Executive Director, along with Dick Nelson (Chief Executive) and Craig Slater (Finance Director). Rodger Booth, Mike Potter and Peter Evans have resigned from the Board, and the Company would like to thank them for their valued contributions, particularly over the past couple of challenging years, and wish them well in their future endeavours. Whilst the Board recognises that this new structure does not fully comply with commonly used guidelines on corporate governance, in particular the independence of non-executive directors, it believes that this Board structure enjoys the support of the majority of shareholders, including Hanover and a number of the Company's major institutional shareholders. The new Board will bring a fresh perspective to the Company as it continues its work to add value to all shareholders. The transition of responsibilities to the new Board is already underway. As a result of these changes the Board has today received written notification of the withdrawal of the requisition for an EGM. - Ends - For further information, please contact: 4imprint Group plc Dick Nelson, CEO Tel: 00 1 920 236 7270 Email: dnelson@4imprint.com Media enquiries: Bankside Henry Harrison-Topham Tel: +44 (0) 20 7444 4140 Email: henry.ht@bankside.com www.bankside.com This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
