Millfield Group PLC 05 May 2006 Millfield Group plc ("Millfield" or the "Company") Offer Talks Terminated: Amendment and Clarification The following amendments have been made to release number 4950C released at 7.00am on 5 May 2006: in the first paragraph the announcement made on 29 March was misquoted and the reference to the offer being made "at or around the market price" has been removed; the alternative strategy outlined in the second paragraph has been clarified; and the Dealing Disclosure Requirements and rule 2.10 disclosure have been added. The announcement should read as set out below: On 29 March 2006, the Board of Millfield announced it had received "a preliminary approach from a third party which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the Company". The Board of Millfield today announces that those discussions have now terminated. Millfield is currently in discussions with other parties and it has appointed turnaround consultants to conduct a strategic review of the Group. The Board anticipates that a further announcement will be made in the next few days. Dealing Disclosure Requirements Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"), if any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of "relevant securities" of Millfield, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of that 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until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends.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 Millfield, 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 Millfield by the 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.
