Result of EGM

Stobart Group Limited 03 April 2008 Not for release, publication or distribution in whole or in part, in or into the United States of America, Canada, Australia, the Republic of South Africa, Japan or any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the relevant laws of such jurisdiction Stobart Group Limited ('Stobart' or the 'Company') RESULT OF EGM The Board of Stobart announces that, at the Extraordinary General Meeting held earlier today, each of the Resolutions set out in the notice of Extraordinary General Meeting included in the prospectus which was sent to Shareholders on 10 March 2008 (the 'Prospectus') was duly passed. Resolution 4 was also conditional upon the approval by extraordinary resolution of both the Income Shareholders and the Ordinary Shareholders at separate class meetings thereof of the deletion of the existing articles of association of the Company and the adoption of the regulations appended to the Prospectus as the new articles of association of the Company. The class meeting of the Income Shareholders was not quorate and the relevant resolution could not be passed, although it was passed at the class meeting of Ordinary Shareholders. Resolution 4 was ineffective and therefore failed. The Board intends to propose the adoption of the new articles of association of the Company at the Company's next annual general meeting including the further amendments referred to below. The Board also announced that it would be setting a limit of borrowing equal to two times the Company's capital and reserves. In addition, the Board announced that the indemnity in favour of the Company's auditors as set out in the existing articles of association would be removed. The new articles of association to be proposed at the Company's next annual general meeting will reflect these amendments. The Placing and Open Offer and the Acquisitions remain conditional, inter alia, upon admission of the new Ordinary Shares to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities ('Admission'). It is expected that Admission will occur, and that dealings in the new Ordinary Shares will commence, on 4 April 2008. The new Ordinary Shares will, on Admission, rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares (save that they will not rank for the final dividend declared for the year ended 29 February 2008). Terms used in this Announcement shall have the same meanings as in the Prospectus which was sent to Shareholders on 10 March 2008.
