AGM Statement

Highcroft Investments PLC 23 May 2007 The following replaces the AGM Statement released today at 12.05, rns no 1003X. The first announcement shouldn't have been released as it did not relate to the AGM. HIGHCROFT INVESTMENTS PLC ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Real Estate Investment Trust conversion At the Company's Annual General Meeting held today John Hewitt, Chairman, announced that the Board had received notification from Kingerlee Holding Limited ('KHL') confirming that it intends to support the proposed conversion of the Company to a Real Estate Investment Trust ('REIT'). KHL owns 25.32 per cent of the Company's issued ordinary share capital and is therefore a substantial shareholder for the purposes of the REITs legislation (defined as a shareholder of 10 per cent or more), which would ordinarily be an obstacle to REITs conversion. The KHL board has notified the Company that it has received advice, on which it intends to act, which should enable Highcroft to convert to a REIT notwithstanding the fact that KHL will continue to own more than 10 per cent of the Company's issued ordinary share capital. The Board welcomes this notification as an important practical step, one of several to be taken over the coming months, towards convening an Extraordinary General Meeting, likely to be held in December, at which the Board hopes to put a resolution to Shareholders that will enable conversion to a REIT on 1 January 2008. 23 May 2007 Enquiries : Charles Stanley Securities 020 7149 6000 Philip Davies This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
