Re Agreement

Impax Group PLC 03 December 2003 Impax Group plc Impax Group plc ('Impax') has entered into an agreement (the 'Agreement') with All American Oil and Gas Inc. ('AAOG') relating to the Nukern Oil Field (the 'Field'). The purpose of this Agreement is to facilitate disposal of the Field. The agreement covers work programmes on the Field and financial arrangements relating to sale of the Field. The work programmes incorporate essential maintenance and a limited development programme. Temsik Investments Ltd, which purchased CSV Holdings, Inc. from Impax earlier this year, is an equity investor in AAOG. CSV Holdings will manage the programmes and will receive management fees based on the level of oil production with a minimum payment of $5,000 per month. Impax and AAOG will seek a purchaser for the Field. In addition, Impax has granted AAOG an option, exercisable prior to 31 August 2004, to purchase the Field under two alternative consideration structures: 1. $2.5 million in cash plus a 5% overriding royalty interest on all production from the Field; or 2. $500,000 in cash plus a production note for $4 per barrel on the first 1,312,500 barrels produced from the Field. The production note also stipulates minimum payments, interest terms and repayment in full in the event of onward sale. The consideration under these arrangements would today correspond broadly to the book value of the Field. Both consideration structures include provisions to ensure that, in the event that the field is subsequently resold by AAOG to a third party, Impax will share in any profits accruing to AAOG above specified levels. 3 December 2003 For further information please contact: Impax Group plc 020 7434 1122 Nigel Taunt Ian Simm This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
