Interregnum, the merchant bank, is today announcing the appointment of John

Goodall, Chairman of Dana Petroleum plc, and former energy minister Brian
Wilson, were also appointed non-executive directors.



The company subsequently announced on 30 January 2006 plans for an acquisition
and fund raising.



John Leggate joined BP in 1979 as a chartered engineer. He has managed the
combined Southern North Sea (SNS) Gas Asset in the UK before becoming President
of AIOC (Azerbaijan International Operating Company). In January 1999, he took
on the role of Group Vice President, Information Technology before moving to his
current position in 2005. He is also a member of the BP Group Senior Leadership
Team.



The directorships held by John Leggate (58) over the five years preceding the
date of appointment are TradeRanger and Zembu.



Commenting on the appointment, Interregnum, Chairman Ken Olisa said:



'John Leggate's appointment along with other recent appointments and our
restructuring plan will provide the management platform to deliver and support
the plans we have for the company's future.'
