Introduction

Enneurope has today entered into an agreement with Arlington Group plc
("Arlington") and Ennstone plc ("Ennstone") which will provide for Arlington to
invest up to #3 million in Enneurope by way of a firm placing and underwriting
of an open offer of new Enneurope shares at a price of 15 pence per share (the
"Proposals").

The Proposals

Under the terms of the Proposals, 8,333,334 new Enneurope shares, equating to
#1.25 million, will be placed firm with Arlington. A further 11,666,666 new
Enneurope shares, equating to #1.75 million, are to be offered under the terms
of a fully underwritten open offer pursuant to which the shares have been placed
with Arlington subject to clawback to satisfy valid acceptances from qualifying
Enneurope shareholders. Further details regarding the Proposals will be set out
in a circular to be sent to shareholders as soon as practicable.

Placing arrangements

Ennstone has granted Arlington a put option in respect of any new Enneurope
shares issued to it under the Proposals. Arlington will be entitled to exercise
the put option between 9 June 2004 and 9 September 2004. In addition to this,
prior to 9 September 2004, Arlington cannot dispose of any new Enneurope shares
issued to it under the Proposals other than by accepting a recommended bid for
Enneurope or by exercising the put option upon a bid for Ennstone becoming or
being declared unconditional in all respects.

The consideration due under the put option is to be satisfied by Ennstone
allotting to Arlington such number of new ordinary shares in the capital of
Ennstone ("Ennstone Shares") equal to the aggregate value of the new Enneurope
shares issued to Arlington under the Proposals at an option price of 17 pence
(save that Ennstone shall never be obliged to issue Ennstone Shares at less than
their nominal value, in which case, Ennstone shall satisfy the consideration in
cash). For these purposes, an Ennstone Share shall be valued at the lower of
92.5 per cent. of the average closing bid price of an Ennstone Share in the
seven dealing days prior to (i) the date of signature of the put option
agreement, or (ii) the service of a put option notice on Ennstone by Arlington.

Irrevocable undertakings

Ennstone has given an irrevocable undertaking to vote in favour of the Proposals
at an extraordinary general meeting of Enneurope, details of which will be set
out in the circular to be sent to shareholders as soon as practicable.

Conditions

The Proposals are conditional, inter alia, on the approval of Enneurope
shareholders and the waiver by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers of any
obligation on Arlington to make a mandatory general offer for Enneurope shares
under Rule 9 of the City Code. This Panel waiver will not extend to any
obligation which may be incurred by Ennstone upon exercise of the put option
arrangements by Arlington as described in the "Placing arrangements" section of
this announcement. Accordingly, if Ennstone acquired 30 per cent. or more of the
voting rights in Enneurope it may be required to make a mandatory general offer
for the outstanding shares not then owned by Ennstone.

Prospects

The Board of Enneurope believes that this fundraising should enable the company
to make strong progress towards building a significant market presence in North
West Poland over the next few months. This will leave Enneurope well placed to
take advantage of Poland's entry into the EU in 2004, following the strong
referendum vote in favour of EU membership.

The circular setting out full details of the Proposals and seeking shareholder
approval will be sent to shareholders as soon as practicable.
