Result of Linton Park Court Meeting and Results of Camellia Extraordinary
General Meeting


The Independent Directors of Linton Park and the Board of Camellia are pleased
to announce that, at the Linton Park Court Meeting held earlier today, the
Independent Shareholders of Linton Park approved the proposal for Linton Park to
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camellia to be implemented by means of a
scheme of arrangement under section 425 of the Companies Act 1985 (the 
'Scheme').


At the Extraordinary General Meeting of Camellia's shareholders also held
earlier today, Camellia's shareholders passed (i) the ordinary resolution
granting authority to Camellia's directors to allot up to 248,011 new ordinary
shares of 10 pence each in Camellia and (ii) the special resolution adopting new
articles of association of Camellia. The Camellia Directors intend to use this
authority to allot the Camellia shares required to implement the Scheme.


The Scheme remains conditional, inter alia, on (i) the Scheme being sanctioned
by the Court and (ii) permission being granted for the shares in Camellia to be
issued pursuant to the Scheme to be admitted to the Official List and to trading
on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities.  Subject to these
conditions, the Scheme is expected to become effective on 17 November 2005.
