                   Reduction in holding in Yule Catto & Co plc 
                         ('Yule Catto' or 'the Company')

Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad ('KLK'), a publicly listed company in Malaysia, 
has informed the Company that following its voluntary delisting of its 
shares from the London Stock Exchange on 1 May 2005 it has, for technical 
reasons, decided to reduce its holding in the Company from its current 
level of 21.69% to below 20%.

Commenting on the sale, Dato' Lee Oi Hian, Chairman of KLK and a non-executive
director of the Company said:

'KLK has a long standing relationship with Yule Catto, having held a stake of
more than 20% for some 30 years. The decision to reduce KLK's holding to 
below 20% is for purely technical reasons. KLK remains a committed shareholder
in Yule Catto and is fully supportive of the Company's management and its
strategy.'
