Rodime PLC
24 May 2000


RODIME PLC ('Rodime' or 'the Company')

RODIME PLC TODAY ANNOUNCES THE FOLLOWING CHANGES TO ITS BOARD AND MANAGEMENT
TEAM.

During its protracted litigation with Seagate Technology Inc. the Company
focused on conserving its financial resources by reducing staffing levels. Apart
from the numerous specialist attorneys and technical consultants funded  by
Rodime, the Company reduced its full and part-time staff to just three  people.
Since the settlement with Seagate earlier this year, the Company's  Managing
Director and Chief Executive Officer, Peter Bailey, has focused on  building a
management team that can make Rodime's new strategy a reality, and  we are
pleased to announce the following Board and management changes :


* Colin McGill (51), will join the Company on 1 June 2000 as a member of the    
 Board (executive director) and Chief Operating Officer. Colin is a law  
  graduate of Glasgow University and qualified as a chartered accountant in 
  1971. He has held a number of senior positions within Bank of Scotland, most  
  recently as Divisional Chief Executive, Corporate Banking, where he was 
  responsible for merging and managing the Bank's global corporate business 
  activities.

* David Ovens (27), will join Rodime as Manager of Business Development. David 
  graduated in law from Edinburgh University in 1994. He also has a diploma in 
  French law from Paris University and obtained the Securities Institute 
  Diploma in 1996. Between 1994 and 1996, David worked for Samuel Montagu & 
  Co. in  London, before joining Rodime's Edinburgh-based merchant banker Noble 
  Grossart, in 1996. David has been involved in a wide variety of corporate 
  finance transactions and is fluent in French and German.

* James Teter (50), will join the Board, initially as a non-executive director, 
  with effect from 1st June 2000. Jim is a graduate in chemistry from Carnegie 
  Mellon University in Pennsylvania. After graduating, Jim founded the Three 
  Rivers Computer Corporation working in various roles including President and 
  member of the executive committee. In 1981, Jim founded Management Graphics  
  Inc. (MGI) in Minneapolis to produce computer graphic systems. MGI merged 
  with Electronics For Imaging in late 1999, since when Jim has acted as 
  General Manager of Minnesota operations during the business transition. He 
  will bring significant experience in US technology companies to the Board.

* James Waterman Swent III, who has been a non-executive director since 1992,  
  will retire from the Board with immediate effect to concentrate on his other 
  interests in the USA.

Rodime is also in the advanced stages of negotiation with a prospective Finance
Director and would hope to make an announcement in that regard in due course.

Commenting on today's announcement, Peter Bailey, Managing Director, said:

'Since the successful conclusion of our action against Seagate, Rodime has  been
undertaking a strategic review. As a result of that review, the Board has
decided to focus on the acquisition, management and development of patented and
other technologies, with particular emphasis on internet infrastructure related
acquisitions. The management changes we are making today set in place a
framework to actively implement this strategy.

I would also like to thank Jay for the contribution he has made to the Company
over the last decade.'
