EGM Notice, Board Changes etc

Enition PLC 19 September 2005 Enition plc ('Enition' or the 'Company') Proposed Capital Reorganisation, Issue of Ordinary Shares, Board Changes and Notice of EGM As outlined in the report and accounts for the period ended 31 December 2004, the Board of Enition has been reviewing potential opportunities for another trading business to reverse into the Company since its trading subsidiary, CDE Solutions Limited, was put into liquidation. Whilst the Company's running costs have been minimised (including the waiver by all directors of fees), its cash resources have been seriously depleted and the Board believes it would be prudent for additional cash resources to be injected into the Company. A group of investors led by Peter Greensmith ('the Investors') has approached the Board and offered to subscribe for shares in the Company representing 29.80 per cent of the then issued share capital for £95,000 ('the Proposed Investment'). The Proposed Investment will result in the issue of 316,053,597 new ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 0.03p per share and is conditional, inter alia, on the following occurring: 1. the Company's share capital being reorganised as outlined below ('the Capital Reorganisation'); and 2. all debts of the Company, amounting in aggregate (including accrued interest) to £443,967, being converted into 177,586,800 new ordinary shares at a price of 0.25p per share (which in aggregate would represent 16.74 per cent of the enlarged issued ordinary share capital of the Company on completion of the Proposed Investment and the Proposed Placing (as defined below)). As part of the Proposed Investment, Peter Greensmith and John Michael Edelson have the right to procure subscribers for up to a maximum of 363,636,364 new ordinary shares of 0.0025p each at a price of 0.11p per share for an aggregate amount of £400,000 ('the Proposed Placing') (which in aggregate would represent 34.29 per cent of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company on completion of the Proposed Investment and Proposed Placing (assuming this is fully subscribed)). In the circumstances, the Board has agreed to these terms and, accordingly, the Company entered an investment agreement with the Investors on 19 September 2005. The Board has also procured the appropriate consents from all debtors to satisfy the condition summarised in point 2 above. In addition, Adrian Finn and Anthony Leon have agreed to resign on completion of the Proposed Investment to be replaced by Peter Greensmith, John Stirling and Jonathan (Jason) Teichman ('the New Directors') whose details are summarised below. Capital Reorganisation The Capital Reorganisation is being proposed because the current market value of the Company's ordinary shares is below their current nominal value of 0.25p per share. Under the Companies Act 1985, it is unlawful to issue shares at a price below their nominal value and, as a result, the Company has been unable to issue anyshares. It is therefore proposed to sub-divide and redesignate each of the Company's issued ordinary shares of 0.25p into one ordinary share of 0.0025p and ninety nine deferred shares of 0.0025p each ('the Deferred Shares') and to sub-divide each of the Company's unissued ordinary shares of 0.25p each into one hundred ordinary shares of 0.0025p each. The Deferred Shares will have no voting rights and will have negligible rights as to dividends and on a return of capital. They will not be listed on any stock exchange and will not be freely transferable. One of the provisions attaching to the Deferred Shares will allow the directors to effect the transfer of all of the Deferred Shares to a custodian for no consideration. In due course, the directors may arrange for the Company to cancel all the Deferred Shares or effect a re-purchase of the Deferred Shares (for a consideration of 1p for all of the Deferred Shares in issue) subject, in each case, to due compliance with relevant legislation. No new share certificates in respect of the new ordinary shares of 0.0025p will be issued and existing share certificates will remain valid. No share certificates will be issued in respect of the Deferred Shares. Details of the New Directors On completion of the Proposed Investment (assuming the Capital Reorganisation is duly approved by shareholders), Adrian Finn and Anthony Leon will resign as directors and the following persons will be appointed directors of the Company: Peter James Greensmith, Chairman, aged 42 Peter Greensmith has over 17 years investment banking experience.

Admission of the 857,276,761 new ordinary shares to trading on AIM is conditional on shareholder approval of the Capital Reorganisation. Strategy The New Directors intend to identify potential acquisition targets and investments for the Company from a combination of their own research, market knowledge and network of contacts. The New Directors' strategy is for the Company to acquire or invest in businesses with one or more of the following characteristics: * sustainable growth prospects; * a strong position in an established market or an early mover position in a potentially fast growing market; * under exploited assets; or * an established management team, requiring working capital and/or strategic advice to achieve its potential. In their investment and acquisition considerations, the New Directors will focus primarily on businesses based in Europe and the Americas, operating in the broad energy and sustainable power sectors. Although the New Directors believe there are significant numbers of investment prospects which potentially fall within these categories, changing market conditions and valuation issues may require the Company to broaden or change its investment criteria. Therefore, the New Directors may take advantage of attractive opportunities from other sectors and/or regions, which may include minerals, natural resources, commodities and energy technologies.
