As announced on 23 February 2011, the Company, Kingswood Property Finance Limited Partnership ("Kingswood"), Moor Park Capital Partners LLP ("Moor Park Capital") and the members of the Group's Banking Syndicate (the "Banking Syndicate") have entered into an exclusivity and standstill agreement (the "Exclusivity Agreement") in order to permit more detailed discussions to take place in relation to the potential reconstruction of the Group which would enable one or more of its divisions to recommence writing new business.

Whilst there remains no certainty as to the outcome of these discussions, the Board continues to work intensively to try to maximise the chances of a reconstruction proposal being formally proposed by Kingswood and Moor Park Capital to the Banking Syndicate.

The Board wishes to reiterate its view that, even if Kingswood, Moor Park Capital and the Banking Syndicate reach agreement on a potential restructuring of the Group, it is likely that there will be no value for shareholders' current shareholdings in Davenham.
