Shareholders requisition EGM to discuss enfranchisement

Brockhampton Holdings plc ("Brockhampton"), the listed holding company of the
water supply company Portsmouth Water, today announces that it has received a
validly constituted Members Requisition to convene an EGM pursuant to section
368 of the Companies Act 1985. The requisition has been received from Chase
Nominees (as nominee for The Special Utilities Investment Trust PLC) and
Anthony H. Edwards.

The requisition requests the convening of an EGM to consider the following
resolution:

"THAT:


 a. the Board of Directors of the Company shall forthwith take steps to
    formulate proposals for the enfranchisement of all the non-voting "A"
    ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company ("A" ordinary shares") in a
    manner which provides an appropriate level of compensation for the holders
    of ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company ("ordinary shares") by way
    of capitalisation issue to such holders of further ordinary shares and (i)
    reflects the additional value which the stock market has placed on the
    ordinary shares historically by virtue of their enjoying voting rights;
    and (ii) does not unreasonably dilute the dividend entitlement of the "A"
    ordinary shares;

 b. such proposals be submitted to the requisite class and general meetings to
    be convened as soon as practicable and in any event within 3 months
    following the passing of this resolution."

The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Brockhampton will prepare the
necessary documentation to convene such an EGM as soon as practicable. A
further announcement will be made when the circular containing the notice to
convene the EGM is sent to shareholders. At that time the Board will give
their formal views on the matter.

In the meantime shareholders are recommended to take no action.
