The Rank Group Plc ('Rank') announces that Deluxe Media Services has today
completed the sale of its UK DVD replication business and its UK distribution
business ('the Businesses') to a subsidiary of Sony DADC ('Sony') for a cash
consideration of £5.9 million.

of individual businesses or assets.

of the remaining assets of Deluxe Media Services and will make any further
announcements required in due course.
