Proposed return of capital

24 February 2010 Eurovestech plc ("Eurovestech" or the "Company") Proposed cash return of approximately £7.5 million to shareholders and up to £2.5 million by way of on-market share buyback programme On 4 January 2010, the Company announced that, following the sale of KSS Retail Limited, it intended to return a substantial part of its cash reserves to shareholders. Eurovestech now proposes to return approximately 2.18p per ordinary share of the capital of the Company, equating to approximately £7.5 million (based on the current issued share capital of 344,322,801 ordinary shares). In addition, following the publication of its interim results, the Company intends to instigate an on-market share buyback programme up to a value of £2.5 million. The Company has consulted its major institutional shareholders regarding the most efficient means of returning cash and is working with its advisers to provide shareholders with proposals to consider at a general meeting. It is currently intended to offer shareholders the opportunity to receive their return in the form of capital. The return of cash will be subject to shareholder approval and the approval by the High Court of the cancellation of the Company's share premium account. It is intended that a circular containing details of the proposals and a notice of general meeting, at which a resolution will be proposed to approve the return of cash, will be sent to shareholders by mid-March 2010. A further announcement will be made in due course.
