Announcement of Result of Extraordinary General Meeting ('EGM')
Rank announces that the resolution to approve the proposed disposal of Deluxe
Film to DX III Holdings Corporation ('Disposal'), a wholly owned indirect
subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc., and the associated increase in
the permitted borrowing powers was passed by the Company's shareholders at the

UK Listing Authority and will shortly be available for inspection at the UK
Listing Authority's Document Viewing Facility, which is situated at the
Financial Services Authority, 25 The North Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London E14
