NEW GLOBAL CONTRACT

Byotrol PLC 04 June 2007 BYOTROL NEW GLOBAL CONTRACT ANNOUNCEMENT The Directors of Byotrol plc (the 'Company') are pleased to be able to report a new global contract that has been secured by the Company. The Company has worked in partnership to develop a range of products incorporating Byotrol(R) technology for Fellowes Inc, a leading global provider of office accessories and business machines. As a global provider, Fellowes has access to a wide range of disinfectant technologies and chose Byotrol for its residual efficacy, ultra low toxicity profile and broadband action against a wide range of micro-organisms. Fellowes is launching the Virashield(TM) range of products containing Byotrol across Europe with a global launch planned in the near future. The range, which includes wipes and hand protection foam, is designed to help combat the spread of infections in the workplace. Virashield(TM) offers both residual efficacy of up to seven days coupled with broad spectrum capability against a wide range of organisms including viruses such as influenza and avian flu and bacteria including E.coli. Research has shown that a typical office desk harbours up to 400 times more bacteria than a typical toilet seat and the residual efficacy offered by the Virashield range containing Byotrol will help office workers combat this real and growing risk of infection. The Virashield(TM) range has been extensively tested by both Byotrol and Fellowes and the tests have proven the product's efficacy for up to seven days following application. The range can both remove microbes from surfaces in an office environment and keep the surface microbially clean for this period of time. Byotrol plc Chief Executive David McRobbie said, 'We are delighted to have secured our first contract that will make Byotrol available on a global basis and that a company the size of Fellowes chose Byotrol as its worldwide strategic partner for this key product launch. There is growing awareness that micro-organisms are not just an issue in hospitals and specialist environments and that effective cleaning regimes have a role in a wider range of settings.' Headquartered in Illinois, USA with subsidiaries in Canada, Benelux, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, UK, China, Singapore, Japan, Korea and Australia, they have an extensive distribution & export network reaching over 100 countries. Fellowes employs more than 2,700 people throughout the world and expects global sales in excess of $700 million this year.
