Related Party Transaction

CSS Stellar PLC 24 April 2006 CSS Stellar plc Related party transaction 24 April 2006 CSS Stellar plc ('CSS' or the 'Company') today gives notification that it has entered into a deed of indemnity with Sean Kelly, the Chief Executive of the Company (the 'Indemnity'). The Indemnity is in line with those adopted by many leading companies and accord with the provisions of the current legislation and the Company's articles of association. The terms of the Indemnity involve the Company, to the extent permitted by law, in indemnifying and holding the relevant individual harmless against any liability of such person arising out of the actual or purported exercise of (or failure to exercise or alleged failure to exercise) any of his powers, duties or responsibilities as director or officer of any group company of CSS. The Company believes that the Indemnity is required to provide the beneficiary with an element of protection against unforeseen personal legal action when carrying out his duties in the best interests of the Company and supplement the Company's existing Directors' and Officers' insurance. Notwithstanding that there is no quantifiable additional cost to the Company of its implementation and that it is not currently expected that any claim under the Indemnity will arise, the Indemnity represents a substantial transaction for the purposes of rule 12 of the AIM rules of the London Stock Exchange because the terms of the Indemnity granted to Mr Kelly are unlimited. The Indemnity constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of the rule 13 of the Aim rules of the London Stock Exchange as it is between the Company and a director. Mr Kelly has not accrued any quantifiable benefit as a result of entering into the Indemnity. The Indemnity was approved by way of a board resolution, from which Mr Kelly abstained from voting. With the exception of Mr Kelly, the directors of the Company consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated advisor, that the terms of the Indemnity are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned. In accordance with the Companies Act 1985 (as amended), copies of the Indemnity will be available for inspection at the next annual general meeting of the Company.
