Placing and Trading Update

Tasty PLC 12 November 2007 Tasty Plc ('Tasty' or the 'Company') Placing and Trading Update The Company is pleased to announce a placing to raise £2.2 million and an update on trading. The Placing The Company announces today that it intends to raise up to £2.2million, before expenses, through a placing of 2,430,775 new ordinary shares of 10 pence each ('New Shares') at a price of 90 pence per share (the 'Placing Price') ('the Placing'). The Placing Price represents a discount of 11 per cent. to the closing middle market price of the Company on 9 November 2007 (being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement). The New Shares will represent approximately 8.5 per cent. of the current issued share capital of the Company. The Placing is conditional upon admission of the New Shares to trading on AIM and is not underwritten. The net proceeds from the Placing will be used by the Company to fund the continued expansion of restaurants within the Company. The Company has been informed that Samuel Kaye, an Executive Director, and Adam Kaye, a Non-Executive Director, each purchased 111,111 New Shares in the Placing. Following this purchase, Samuel Kaye and Adam Kaye have a holding of 6,518,874 ordinary shares each, with each holding representing 20.9 per cent. of the Company's enlarged issued ordinary share capital. Application will be made for the New Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are expected to commence on 19 November 2007. Trading Update The Company announced its interim results on 28 September 2007 at which time the Board indicated that it had eight restaurants with all locations performing in line with expectations, save for Nottingham. Since this date the Board has closed the Nottingham restaurant which will lead to an exceptional write off and closing cost during the current financial year. The Company has also refurbished some of its existing restaurants which will be expensed during the current year. The remaining seven restaurants continue to perform in line with management expectations. The expansion plans of the Company continue to be in line with expectations with a further two restaurants expected to be operational before the year end and the recently opened central kitchen in Park Royal providing capacity for considerable expansion. The Board has also identified a number of other locations in order to continue the roll out of restaurants in 2008. The Board has continued to strengthen its operations following the interim results. As announced at the time of the results Jo Fleet has joined the Company as an Executive Director with further finance and managerial appointments also having been made. These appointments will increase the costs of the Company during the remaining months of this year and 2008, but will provide the appropriate infrastructure for growth. The Board also believes these appointments will assist the Company's roll out of restaurants and benefit the performance of the existing locations. 12 November 2007 Enquiries: Tasty plc 020 7637 1166 Jonny Plant Evolution Securities 020 7071 4300 Tom Price Bobbie Hilliam Fergus Marcroft This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
