Circ re. Section 320

Safeland PLC 13 March 2006 Press Announcement Safeland Plc 13 March 2006 Section 320 Circular The Board of Safeland plc (the 'Company') announces the proposal for the Company to enter into a Broker Agreement with Grafton Insurance Services Limited ('Grafton'), a company owned as to 50 per cent. by Leo Insurance Services plc ('Leo'). Leo was demerged from the Company in 2005 and was subsequently admitted to trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange plc. It is proposed that the Company becomes a client of Grafton, by appointing it as its insurance broker pursuant to the Broker Agreement. Under the Broker Agreement, Grafton would have the duty (amongst other things) to seek insurance cover for the properties held by the Company and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') on the best terms reasonably available and in any event on terms at least as good as those currently enjoyed by the Group. Any commission which Grafton earns from making these arrangements will be shared on an equal basis with Safeland. The Company's largest shareholder is Safeland Holdings Corporation, a company in which Larry Lipman and Errol Lipman, Directors of the Company, each hold one third of its share capital. Safeland Holdings Corporation, which held (and continues to hold) 57 per cent. of the issued share capital of Safeland, also holds a 37.3 per cent. interest in Leo. In view of this, both Larry and Errol Lipman are deemed to be connected with Leo and also Grafton, for the purposes of section 320 of the Companies Act 1985. Accordingly, the Broker Agreement is conditional on the approval of shareholders of the Company, which will be sought at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be convened at 10.00 a.m. on 30 March 2006, notice of which is contained in a circular which has been posted to shareholders today. Copies of the circular will be available for viewing at the UK Listing Authority's document viewing facility which is situated at 25 The North Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London E14 5HS. Copies of the circular can be obtained from Safeland plc's registered office at 94-96 Great North Road, London N2 0NL. -end- This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
