AGM Statement

Provexis PLC 23 August 2005 Provexis plc AGM STATEMENT Dawson Buck, Chairman of Provexis plc, will make the following statement at today's Annual General Meeting ('AGM'): 'Provexis plc was admitted to trading on AIM exactly two months ago. This was the coming together of two businesses, Provexis Limited and Nutrinnovator Holdings plc, with the shared vision of creating a company which is now uniquely differentiated in the functional food market. Subsequently, I am delighted to report that the integration has gone extremely well and the new team has a clear, shared energy and commitment to the future success of Provexis plc. Our lead product, SircoTM, is a fruit juice drink that contains a patented bioactive extract from tomatoes (called FruitflowTM). It has been proven in human trials to inhibit blood platelet aggregation and thereby reduce the risk of thrombosis, the primary cause of heart attack and stroke. SircoTM, which carries a health claim, is uniquely positioned in the heart health category due to its function and the immediacy of the benefit. Earlier this month we announced a three-year agreement with the registered heart health charity, H-E-A-R-T UK, for SircoTM, which provides us with formal approval and endorsement of the product. Due to the high level of interest from a number of the major UK supermarkets and other key high street retailers, we are now planning a much larger distribution base at launch, supported by a nationwide marketing campaign in early 2006. Both the supermarkets and the retailers have indicated that maximum impact will be made by a launch in the post-Christmas period, when health and wellbeing is at its highest on the consumer's personal agenda. We will therefore be launching SircoTM in January 2006. Whilst the current focus is working towards the launch of SircoTM the R&D pipeline, in conjunction with our technology partners, continues to progress. This includes the functional fruit juice beverage which will contain a proprietary extract from broccoli proven to reduce the risk of specific cancers and the medical food for the dietary management of Crohn's Disease. The Board continues to monitor the Altu food bar and is considering its future strategy in relation to this product. Provexis plc has made a positive start since admission to AIM in June and the Company is now gearing up to the launch of SircoTM in January 2006. I look forward to reporting further progress in due course.'
