RESULT OF EGM AND PROPOSED CANCELLATION

The Board of Siteserv announces that the required majority of Siteserv Shareholders voted in favour of the Proposed Disposal of the Siteserv Business at the EGM, held in Dublin earlier today.

Results of EGM

The Resolution put to the Extraordinary General Meeting, convened in accordance with the Notice of EGM set out in the circular to Shareholders dated 20 March 2012 (the "EGM Circular") was passed, the details of the votes being as follows:

 
            Number of Shares     Number of Shares   Number of Shares   Number of Shares

Completion and Proposed Cancellation

As set out in the EGM Circular, the Proposed Disposal remains conditional on a number of conditions, including receipt of approval from the Irish Competition Authority.

Assuming Completion occurs, the Company will not have any revenue generating operating businesses. As outlined in the EGM Circular, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of Shareholders as a whole to return the net proceeds of the Proposed Disposal (after repaying the amount agreed with IBRC and covering professional and closure costs) to Shareholders as efficiently and expediently as possible and to wind up the Company to facilitate the distributions to the Shareholders in a tax efficient manner.

The Board believes that it would be appropriate to cancel the trading of the Ordinary Shares on AIM and ESM ("Cancellation"). Under the AIM Rules and ESM Rules, it is a requirement that cancellation of admission to trading on AIM and ESM must be approved by not less that 75 per cent. of shareholders voting in general meeting.

Accordingly, the Board intends to shortly send a circular to Shareholders convening a meeting at which shareholder approval of the proposed Cancellation will be sought. Approval for the appointment of a liquidator to the Company, subsequent to Cancellation, will also be sought.

Subject to Completion and Shareholder approval, it is expected that Cancellation would take place on or around the same date as Completion which is currently anticipated to occur in late May 2012.

A further announcement will be made in due course.

Definitions used in the EGM Circular have the same meaning when used in this announcement, unless the context requires otherwise.
