Correction to Announcement

Interregnum PLC 26 April 2006 26 April 2006 Interregnum plc ('Interregnum' or the 'Company') CORRECTION TO RNS UK NEWS RELEASE DATED 19 APRIL 2006 The announcement of the Company's proposed change of name and revised reduction of capital resolution released on 19 April 2006 incorrectly stated the amount standing on the Company's share premium account as at 21 February 2006 as being £19,430,946 and at 19 April 2006 as being £21,604,738 and the amount standing on the Company's share capital account as at 19 April as being £12,197,352. The correct amount standing to the credit of the Company's share premium account as at 21 February 2006 was £19,430,496 and at 19 April 2006 was (and as at today's date remains) £23,059,284 and the amount standing on the Company's share capital account as at 19 April was (and as at today's date remains) £16,742,809. Consequently, cancellation of the Company's share premium account will result in reserves of £1,018,156 which, subject to such protections as the Court may require in respect of the Company's creditors, will be distributable. Please find below the full amended announcement: Interregnum plc Proposed Change of Name and Revised Reduction of Capital Resolution Interregnum plc was created and is known as a technology bank. Over recent months the business has been significantly restructured and its focus significantly broadened so that it is now working - and intends to work - in a range of sectors. After due consideration the Board has concluded that the current corporate name is no longer reflective of the Group's new business which is focused on business turnaround, principal finance and corporate finance across sectors which include leisure, manufacturing, aerospace, energy and technology. Accordingly, subject to shareholders' approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 12th May 2006 at 11.00am at the offices of the Company, 22-23 Old Burlington Street, London, the Group Board intends to adopt the name: 'The Parkmead Group plc.' Reduction in Capital In addition, a new resolution will be put to shareholders relating to a revision of the planned reduction in capital. Shareholders will be aware that on 21 February 2006 a special resolution was approved to cancel £17,600,000 of the amount standing to the credit of the Company's share premium account (then standing at £19,430,496). However, before the Court process was commenced to obtain the requisite sanction of the High Court to the proposed reduction, the Company underwent a restructuring, which resulted in material changes to the Company's balance sheet (both in terms of the level of the Company's share capital and the accumulated losses). The interim results for the period to 31 December 2005 now show aggregate retained losses in the Company of £22,041,128. As at today's date the Company's share capital and share premium accounts stand at £16,742,809 and £23,059,284 respectively. It is therefore proposed to replace the 21 February resolution with a new resolution which seeks the approval of shareholders to a cancellation of the entire share premium account so as to ensure that (subject to the sanction of the High Court) the Company's losses will be eliminated in their entirety and result in reserves of £1,018,156 which, subject to such protections as the Court may require in respect of the Company's creditors, will be distributable. Before it will sanction the reduction of share premium account, the High Court will want to be satisfied that the interests of creditors will not be prejudiced by the reduction and may require that the Company provide protection for creditors. If such protection is required, it is likely to take the form of an undertaking to credit sums representing profits of the Company or its subsidiaries made prior to the reduction of share premium account taking effect to be credited to a non-distributable reserve until such time as all liabilities of the Company at the date when the reduction takes effect have been discharged or the persons to whom they are due agree that it may be distributed. The issue of appropriate creditor protection is for the Court to determine and the Company will put in place such creditor protection as the Company considers appropriate following professional advice and so as to meet the Court's requirements. The Board believes that the implementation of this proposal will assist the Company in bringing about a return to ongoing profitability, and firmly believe that the Company should take this action so as to enable it to be able to pay dividends in the future, if and when it is deemed to be appropriate.
