AGM Statement

CSS Stellar PLC 17 May 2004 For immediate release 17 May 2004 CSS Stellar plc ('CSS' or 'the Group') Annual General Meeting Statement CSS Stellar plc, the global entertainment and sports management and marketing group, held its Annual General Meeting at 9.30am today at which time Sean Kelly, Group Chief Executive, updated shareholders on current trading. 'Overall trading across the Group in the first four months of the year was in-line with the Board's expectations. The Marketing and Events divisions performed slightly ahead of target with the Talent Management and Television divisions performing broadly in-line. All four divisions had notable success within the period. Talent Management added to its extensive client list while a number of existing clients achieved further success. The division also negotiated the highly publicised deal bringing Michael Parkinson's chat show to ITV and is involved in negotiating commercial contracts for Sir Bobby Robson. The Marketing division negotiated a major sponsorship deal between American Express and Clear Channel Concerts and expanded its sampling programme for Starbucks in North America. The Television division was appointed official distributor of 'I Dream', Simon Fuller's new drama series, and, in Asia, renewed the television deal with Fox Sports Australia for the World Snooker Association. Events secured a three year deal with The National Trust to present The National Trust Summer Music Festival. In addition, it will also be producing and installing the branding for the UEFA Euro 2004 Tournament. The Group continues to work on an extensive list of projects whilst continuing to reduce its cost base. With a number of economic indicators seeming to justify the view that conditions in our chosen markets will continue to improve, we are positive about the future of the Group.'
