Statement re Offer

EcoSecurities Group plc

             Re: Announcement by Guanabara Holdings B.V.

The Board  of EcoSecurities  Group  plc ("EcoSecurities")  notes  the
announcement made this  morning by Guanabara  Holdings B.V. that  the
offer document detailing its cash offer for the entire issued and  to
be issued share capital of EcoSecurities  at a price of 77 pence  per
share (the  "Offer") was  posted to  shareholders of  the company  on
Wednesday 22 July 2009.

The Board, which has already rejected the Offer on the basis that  it
is wholly inadequate, will  respond in detail  when the Board  issues
its formal response setting out the  views of the Board on the  Offer
on or before 5 August 2009.

In the  meantime, EcoSecurities  shareholders are  strongly urged  to
take no action in relation to the Offer.
