                         ("Alexandra" or "the Company") 
 
  Announcement of proposed fundraising to raise capital through equity capital 
              markets, change of year end and end of offer period 
 
Further to previous announcements regarding the future funding and capital 
structure of the Company, the Board is pleased to announce that it intends to 
strengthen the Company's balance sheet by seeking to raise funds through the 
equity capital markets. 
 
The Board believes that such a fundraising would provide the Company with the 
required longer term funding structure it needs, and would enable it to 
capitalise on opportunities to increase its market share. The Company is in 
advanced discussions with its banks in relation to the provision of appropriate 
new debt facilities in the context of the proposed fundraising.  As announced on 
26 February 2009, the Company's current facilities remain on the same terms as 
previously announced save that the next review date is now 31 March 2010. 
 
It is intended that existing, as well as new shareholders would have the 
opportunity to participate in the proposed fundraising. 
 
On 12 November 2009 the Company announced a strategic review one of the possible 
outcomes was an offer for the company and the Company therefore went into an 
offer period under the rules of the Takeover Code. The Company confirms it is no 
longer considering an option that includes an offer for the company and 
therefore the Offer Period ends. 
 
For operational reasons the Board intends to change the financial year end of 
the Company to 31 March, and so the Company's next Annual Report will cover the 
fourteen months to 31 March 2010. 
 
The Board anticipates that another update will be provided when the fundraising 
proposal has been progressed further.
