Premier announces that at the Extraordinary General Meeting held today for the

Official List will take place and that trading of the Nil Paid Rights on the
main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange will commence at

credited to the stock accounts of Qualifying CREST Shareholders (other than
Excluded Overseas Shareholders) and enabled in CREST as soon as practicable
after 8.00 am on Tuesday 15 August 2006.  Provisional Allotment Letters will
today be posted to Qualifying Non-CREST Shareholders.  The latest time and date
for acceptance and payment in full under the Rights Issue is 11.00 am on Tuesday
7 September 2006.

Completion of the acquisition of Campbell's UK is scheduled to take place on
Tuesday 15 August 2006.
