Receipt of Winding-Up Petition 
 
 
Cambridge, UK, 20 January, 2009: Meldex International Plc (AIM: MDX), the Board 
of Meldex reports that the Company was formally served on 30 December 2008 with 
a winding-up petition by Richard Trevillion its former CEO claiming to be a 
creditor in the amount of GBP73,550.03. The Company informed Mr. Trevillion's 
lawyers that the amount claimed by him had been incorrectly calculated. The 
Company and Mr. Trevillion's lawyers subsequently agreed that the correct sum 
due was GBP26,209.93 and this sum has been paid to Mr. Trevillion's lawyers 
along with GBP3,500 on account of Mr. Trevillion's costs in the matter. 
 
 
On 16 January, 2009 the Company's lawyers confirmed to Mr Trevillion's lawyers 
that the revised amount demanded had been agreed by the Company's directors and 
that funds in the total amount including a sum on account of Mr Trevillion's 
costs in the matter would be transferred to Mr Trevillion's lawyers to be held 
to the Company's account pending confirmation that the winding-up petition had 
been withdrawn prior to being publicized in the London Gazette. 
 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on 19 January, 2009 Mr. Trevillion acting through 
his lawyers published the winding-up petition in the London Gazette. The Company 
believes this action to be a wholly inappropriate process and intends to 
forcefully defend the winding-up petition, which will be heard at the Royal 
Courts of Justice, Strand, London WC2A 2LL on 18 February, 2009.
