Ocean Wilsons Holdings Ld 07 March 2007 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited The Board of Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited ('OWHL') announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary Wilson Sons Limited (the 'Company') has filed a draft Prospectus with the Brazilian Securities Commission (the 'CVM') that contains information concerning a potential initial public offering of the Company, which owns the group's Brazilian business. The Prospectus is in draft form, incomplete, preliminary and subject to amendment and the Board of OWHL wishes to stress that no firm decision has been made to proceed with an IPO or as to the prices at which securities might be offered. The Board continues to keep the future of the Group and its Brazilian business under review and any material disposal of shares of the Company by OWHL, including as part of an IPO, would require the prior consent of OWHL shareholders under London Listing Rules. However, CVM filing is a necessary pre-condition to any public offer of securities of the Company in Brazil, as is, amongst other pre-conditions, approval of the transaction by shareholders, the completion of the Prospectus and its approval by the CVM and the Board of OWHL. A further announcement will be made as and when appropriate. The draft prospectus may be viewed on the CVM web-site (www.cvm.gov.br).
