AGM Statement

International Greetings PLC 15 September 2004 International Greetings plc ('International Greetings' or 'the Group') AGM Statement and trading update At the AGM of International Greetings (AIM: IGR), the leading designer and manufacturer of private label greetings products, wrapping paper and film and television character based licensed stationery, John Elfed Jones CBE DL, the Group's non-executive chairman, said: 'I am pleased to report that, following the Group's strong performance last year, which we reported in June, we have made a positive start to this year and are looking forward to a full year's contribution to profits from Hoomark, the Dutch subsidiary we acquired last December. We also strengthened our offering with the acquisition of Krackajack in June, which provided us with an entry and order book in the Irish cracker and lucrative catering markets. 'In August, Keith James joined the Board as a non-executive director and replaced Hugh Child, who stepped down from the Board after making a considerable contribution to the Group. Keith, who recently retired as chairman of Eversheds LLP, one of the largest legal practices in Europe, is also a non-executive director of Admiral Group Limited; we look forward to using his valuable experience to assist with the Group's development going forward. 'The run-up to Christmas is traditionally our busiest period of the year and we look forward, once again, to providing our clients with a first class service and top quality products. We will announce interim results in December.'
