Proxy voting results relating to Resolutions are shown below in Table A. Shareholders also approved at an Extraordinary General Meeting held after the AGM a special resolution to approve the cancellation of the listing of the Company's ordinary shares on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and trading of such shares on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities and to request the Directors of the Company to apply for admission of the Group's ordinary shares of 25 pence each to be traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. Proxy voting results are shown on Table B below. It is expected that the issued Ordinary Shares in the Group will be admitted to trading on AIM and that dealings will commence at or shortly after 8am on Friday 31 August 2007. The listing of the issued Ordinary Shares on the Official List will be cancelled, and dealings on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities will cease, at the same time. James Cropper, Chairman, James Cropper PLC said: 'The Board believes that AIM, which has proved to be a successful and robust trading platform, is a more appropriate market for the Company's shares. 'AIM also provides, in our opinion, a more flexible and cost-effective environment for a Company of our size and stage of development which will enable the business to agree and execute transactions more quickly should any acquisition or other development opportunities arise in the future. 'We see ourselves as continuing to be attractive to specialist institutional investors while the AIM tax regime will, we believe, also make us more attractive to AIM specific funds as well as to retail investors.'
