A.Cohen & Co plc (the 'Company')


Result of Annual General Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting


At the Annual General Meeting of the Company held earlier today the resolutions
to receive and adopt the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December
2002, to re-elect James Ferguson as a director of the Company, to approve the
Directors' Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2002, to
reappoint the auditors and to fix their remuneration, were duly passed. The
resolutions regarding the re-election of Messrs Michael Neistat and Robert Petty
as directors of the Company were withdrawn and were not put to the meeting.
Accordingly, Michael Neistat and Robert Petty ceased to be directors of the
Company with effect from the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.


Further to the announcement released by the Company on 26 June 2003 that the
Independent Directors of the Company proposed that only the resolution relating
to the proposed disposal of the Woolwich Site (the 'Disposal') be put to the
Extraordinary General Meeting (the 'EGM') and that thereafter the EGM be
adjourned, the resolutions numbered 2, 3 and 5 relating, inter alia, to the
proposed acquisition by the Company of ROO Media Europe Limited were withdrawn
and were not put to the EGM. The EGM was adjourned such that resolution 4, being
a special resolution relating, inter alia, to the sub-division of each of the
issued and unissued ordinary shares of 20p each in the capital of the Company
into ordinary shares of 1p each and, in the case of each existing issued
ordinary share, one deferred share of 19p each, will be put to the adjourned EGM
at 10.00 am on Monday 14 July 2003 at the offices of Faegre Benson Hobson Audley
LLP, 7 Pilgrim Street, London EC4V 6LB.


At the EGM the resolution relating to the Disposal was duly passed. Accordingly,
completion of the Disposal is expected to take place on 21 July 2003.


Following the EGM, Mr Royce Ritchie, Chairman and Chief Executive of the
Company, is now deemed to be an Independent Director and will therefore join his
fellow directors, James Ferguson and Russell Sincock, in considering any
proposals which might or might not be forthcoming pursuant to the approach which
might or might not lead to an offer being made for the Company by an existing
shareholder, which approach was announced on 16 June 2003.


A further announcement in respect of the proposed admission of the issued share
capital of the Company to trading on the Alternative Investment Market will be
made in due course.
