Alexandra plc ("The Company")
Re: Debentures
In the Company's interim announcement on 30 September 2009 it was confirmed that
the Company was in discussions with its existing bankers to re-negotiate its
existing facilities to be more aligned to its future requirements.
Although these discussions are still on-going, the Company is pleased to
announce that it has agreed certain amendments to its existing facilities and
has put in place debentures with its current bankers and the Company's pension
scheme to secure all outstanding and future indebtedness under these facilities.
Funding of approximately GBP40m, including trade finance, is now available to
the Company. Whilst the level of utilisation varies daily, as at close of
business on the 9th November 2009 approximately GBP35m was drawn down or
committed. The next formal review date of the facilities is 31 December 2009.
Although they remain repayable on demand, the Board anticipates these facilities
will be extended.
As part of the ongoing operational review of the
Company's business, the Board is pursuing all strategic options to reduce its
borrowings and put in place an appropriate funding and capital structure for the
longer term.
Further updates will be announced in due course."

Dealing Disclosure
Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code (the
"Code"), if any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in
1% or more of any class of "relevant securities" of the Company, all "dealings"
in any "relevant securities" of the Company (including by means of an option in
respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must
be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the London
business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement
will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared,
unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which
the "offer period" otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant
to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an
"interest" in "relevant securities" of the Company, they will be deemed to be a
single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
Under the provisions of Rule
8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant securities" of the Company by the
offeror or the offeree company, or by any of their respective "associates", must
be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business
day following the date of the relevant transaction.
A disclosure table,
giving details of the companies in whose "relevant securities" "dealings" should
be disclosed, and the number of such securities in issue, can be found on the
Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.
"Interests in
securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether
conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of securities. In particular, a
person will be treated as having an "interest" by virtue of the ownership or
control of securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or
derivative referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are
defined in the Code, which can also be found on the Panel's website. If you are
in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a "dealing" under
Rule 8, you should consult the Panel."
