Potential Acquisition


Renold plc announces that it is in discussions with ZF Sachs AG which may lead
to the acquisition of Sachs Automotive France, with a facility located at Saint
Simeon de Bressieux, South East France. This potential acquisition would provide
the platform for a European aftermarket business for Automotive chain products,
also provide technology and assets which would enhance the development of the
existing OEM activity and add some 10% to the turnover of the Renold Automotive
business.
