                                 Notice of EGM
                         Cancellation of Trading on AIM


Verdant Holdings plc ("the Company") announces that it has today published a
circular to shareholders calling an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") of the
Company in relation to the cancellation of its ordinary shares from trading on
AIM and proposed winding up of the Company via a members voluntary liquidation.

Since admission of the Company to AIM on 22 December 2006 and following an
extensive analysis of the environmental sector and consideration of a number of
different green technologies, the directors have failed to identify and raise
sufficient finance for an investment that met the strict investment criteria
they had set out. Having considered this situation and the prevailing market
conditions, the directors have concluded that it will benefit the members as a
whole to put the Company into members' voluntary liquidation, for the net
surplus cash of the Company to be distributed by the proposed liquidators to
Shareholders and for the admission of the Company to AIM to be cancelled as soon
as possible.

The Directors expect that a total amount of approximately �3.03 million will be
available for distribution to Shareholders in due course. As a result,
approximately 9.3 pence per Ordinary Share is estimated to be payable in total
in the Liquidation to Shareholders other than "Founders" who will receive
approximately 1.8 pence per Founder Share as a result of their waivers of
certain entitlements as set out in the circular to shareholders. There will be
at least two distributions of cash to the Shareholders. Whilst the amount and
timing of any distribution is uncertain, on the basis of the financial
information currently available, the proposed liquidators have indicated that a
First Distribution of approximately 90 per cent. of the Company's estimated
available assets should be paid to the Shareholders by 29 February 2008.

Cancellation of the admission of the Company's Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM
is conditional on the passing by the requisite majority of the resolution
numbered 1(e) set out in the Notice and will be effected by a dealing notice
being issued at 8.00am on 12 February 2008.

A copy of the circular to shareholders and the full notice of EGM is available
at the Company's website www.verdantplc.co.uk.
