                    Cattles plc - Order of the Supreme Court 
On 13 May 2010, the Court of Appeal unanimously upheld the decision of the High 
Court on the application of Cattles plc (the "Company") to seek a determination 
in relation to whether the terms contained within certain cross-guarantee 
documentation operate to subordinate the Company's claims against its 
subsidiaries, including Welcome Financial Services Limited, to the claims of 
certain bank creditors, as explained in the announcement of the Company on 13 
May 2010. 
Following the order of the Court of Appeal, Party A applied to the Supreme Court 
for permission to appeal the Court of Appeal's decision. 
The Company has today been notified that, on 26 July 2010, the Supreme Court 
ordered that permission to appeal the Court of Appeal's decision be refused 
because the application to appeal "does not raise an arguable point of law of 
general public importance which ought to be considered by the Supreme Court at 
this time, bearing in mind that the case has already been the subject of 
judicial decision and reviewed on appeal". 
Consequently, the application of the Company has been finally determined to the 
effect that the Company's claims against its subsidiaries are subordinated to 
the claims of certain bank creditors.
