Notes to Editors


The Company has been set up to invest primarily in Oakley Capital Private Equity
L.P. (the 'Limited Partnership'), a private equity fund established by a team of
experienced investment professionals led by Peter Dubens, executive chairman of
Pipex Communications plc and former chairman of 365 Media Group plc.


The Limited Partnership will invest primarily in mid-market buy-outs in the UK
and Europe.  It will seek to acquire controlling positions in companies with
scope for performance improvement, and in industries with strong underlying
growth drivers and the potential for consolidation.  The Limited Partnership
will utilise the investment advisory team's proven ability to self-source
transactions and actively manage portfolio companies to improve operational
performance.  The Limited Partnership will target equity transactions in the
range of €30 to €140 million and will seek to deliver gross IRR on its
investments in excess of 25% per annum and a blended gross multiple of three
times.
