Result of EGM

Caledonia Investments PLC 26 June 2006 Caledonia Investments plc Results of Extraordinary General Meeting The Board of Caledonia Investments plc ('Caledonia') is pleased to announce that at the extraordinary general meeting ('EGM') and class meeting ('Class Meeting') of Caledonia held this morning, the shareholders voted in favour of resolutions required for the implementation of the proposed elective special dividend and reduction of capital (the 'Special Dividend Proposals'), as detailed in the circular sent to Caledonia's shareholders (the 'Circular'). These included a resolution to waive the obligation of the Cayzer concert party to make a mandatory offer that could arise on the implementation of the Special Dividend Proposals which, as explained in the Circular, could in certain circumstances result in percentage of the total voting rights represented by the Cayzer concert party's current holding of 29,114,307 ordinary shares increasing to approximately 50.5 per cent (although the Cayzer concert party has given undertakings in that event to reduce its total voting rights to no more than 49.9 per cent). The principal outstanding condition to the implementation of the Special Dividend Proposals is the Court approving the reduction of capital by Caledonia. The Court hearing is scheduled to be held on 12 July 2006 and the payment of the Special Dividend is expected to be made as soon as practicable thereafter. The Board of Caledonia is also pleased to announce that, at the EGM, resolutions enabling Caledonia to make market purchases of its own shares without triggering a general offer to all shareholders by the Cayzer concert party were duly passed. This is subject to the aggregate interests of the Cayzer concert party not, as a consequence of such market purchases, exceeding 49.9 per cent of Caledonia's total voting rights. Accordingly, each resolution proposed at the EGM and the Class Meeting was passed. 26 June 2006 ENQUIRIES: Caledonia +44 (0)20 7802 8080 Tim Ingram, Chief Executive Jonathan Cartwright, Finance Director College Hill +44 (0)20 7457 2020 Tony Friend Roddy Watt JPMorgan Cazenove +44 (0)20 7588 2828 Julian Cazalet This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
