RNS Number:2288T AGA Foodservice Group PLC 19 March 2002 19th March 2002 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AGA ACQUIRES US HOME FASHIONS RETAILER, DOMAIN Aga Foodservice Group ("Aga") is to expand in the US with the acquisition of the East Coast based retailer, Domain Home Fashions ("Domain"). Aga is paying $25 million (£17.6 million) in cash for Domain. Aga is also entering into agreements with four officers of Domain pursuant to which they will receive an aggregate of $4 million on 1st April 2005 subject to their continued employment. The officers have an option to receive 1.18 million shares in Aga in lieu of the deferred cash payment at that date. The transaction, which is subject to the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, is expected to close later today. Domain made a profit before tax of $3.3 million in the year ended 30th June 2001, on sales of $62 million. At that date Domain's net assets were $9.3 million. Domain is currently trading well and in the year to date is ahead of the prior year. Domain was founded in 1986 by current Chairman and CEO, Judy George. It designs, sources and retails exclusive European-inspired home furnishings for more upscale East Coast consumers. Based in Boston it has 25 stores in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania with a concentration in some of the most prestigious shopping malls and premier retail locations. Domain's average store size is around 6,000 square feet, it has a customer database of 165,000, and it achieves one of the highest levels of sales per square foot of any US furniture retailer. In addition, Domain has won industry and consumer awards for its unique retail concept. The acquisition brings Aga a major presence in key US East Coast retail markets, with an established furniture retailer keen to extend its existing living room and bedroom collections to kitchen environments. Domain will bring to Aga a successful and experienced retail team. Domain is enthusiastic to take the Aga Group's lifestyle products to US markets as its existing customer base is a natural audience for not only the Group's cookers, but also for Fired Earth and Elgin & Hall's products. New stores are to be opened incorporating the enlarged Group's products. William McGrath, Chief Executive, Aga Foodservice said, " Domain is an excellent business in its own right and provides the US platform we have sought for our strong consumer products led by Aga. Domain brings retail experience and a fast and cost-effective way of obtaining a significant presence in the US market." Judy George, Chairman of Domain, said "Aga and Domain are absolutely compatible brands with compatible customer bases. We see great synergies in our branded product approach, our educational sales process and our life-long marketing programs. Domain has created an aspirational lifestyle for consumers in the US home, just as Aga represents a lifestyle brand with a rich heritage in its traditional markets. Our team is very excited about growing both brands in the future." Further information on Domain Home Fashions can be obtained from the website, www.domain-home.com .
