AGM Statement

Oak Holdings PLC 19 May 2005 19 May 2005 Oak Holdings plc ('Oak' or 'the Company') AGM STATEMENT Oak Holdings plc, the AIM-listed property development company, held its Annual General Meeting today where all resolutions were duly passed. Chairman Malcolm Savage made the following statement: 'The Directors are pleased with the Company's progress and remain confident in its two-pronged strategy of developing major property projects while at the same time utilising its highly experienced management to offer exclusive property advisory services. 'With regard to the YES! Project in South Yorkshire we have appointed the consultant team including CZWG Holder Mathias as lead architects. They have produced an innovative design which has formed the basis of our Outline Planning Application which was submitted to RBMC on 31 January 2005. The Local Authority has agreed an extension to the Preferred Development Agreement which runs until May 2006. We are now, in concert with the Local Authority, actively negotiating with adjoining authorities and other consultees in an effort to secure consent as quickly as possible. At the same time we are in discussions with a number of other potential tenants who are showing strong interest to the proposal. With political and local support for the project strengthening and with a healthy cash position following a £1.1 million placing last month, we are looking forward to taking this £270 million scheme into its next phase and enhancing its value significantly. 'We are also making good progress on the property consultancy side of the business where active discussions are taking place on a variety of projects in the UK and overseas that we believe suit our development credentials and which have the potential to create significant returns for our shareholders. In these cases the Company's policy is to conserve capital by negotiating a consultancy appointment but wherever possible to include some form of success-based equity participation. With a strong management team now dealing with a number of potential opportunities we believe that we are in a good position to build a substantial income stream from this side of the business. 'The Company is also pleased to announce that the small marina development site at Great Haywood has been sold at auction for £126,000. This is at the level at which this asset was being carried in the Company's accounts.' * * ENDS* * Issued on behalf of Oak Holdings plc by St Brides Media & Finance Ltd, 46 Bedford Row, London WC1R 4LR Contacts: Steve Lewis Oak Holdings plc Tel: 020 7493 5522 Hugo de Salis St Brides Media & Finance Ltd Tel: 020 7242 4477 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
