Notice of EGM

RNS Number:0802K
Tom Hoskins PLC
15 April 2003



Tom Hoskins PLC ("Tom Hoskins" or the "Company") announces that it has today
sent a letter to shareholders convening an EGM to invite shareholders to vote on
whether or not the assets of the company should be liquidated and the proceeds
distributed to shareholders.  This follows the admission document of 25
September 2001 in which the directors stated that their investment process to
identify an investment or acquisition proposal to be put to shareholders would
be limited to eighteen months from the date of admission.  This date is 19 April
2003.



The directors believe, that in the event that the Company is liquidated and
after the payment of its liabilities, the proceeds to shareholders would be nil
bearing in mind that HBBC PLC, one of the Company's major shareholders, is an
unsecured creditor having lent the Company #27,500 as working capital.  HBBC
PLC, itself who holds 11,305,775 ordinary shares, representing 42.3 per cent. of
the current issued share capital of the Company, has undertaken to vote against
the resolution.  Given that the resolution concerned requires a 75 per cent.
majority the resolution will fail.



The directors have undertaken to extend the period on investment until not later
than the AGM to be held during 2005 and will continue to seek potential
interests in companies that meet its investment criteria as described in the
admission document of 25 September 2001.  At this time the directors still
believe that continuing to pursue their investment policy would be in the best
interests of shareholders.



Tom Hoskins' largest shareholder, HBBC, has undertaken to continue to make funds
available for the company to carry on daily operations for this period.



The EGM is due to take place on 9 May 2003.
