Offer Deadline - Replacement

 

TIDMPNE 
 
RNS Number : 7176R 
Preston North End PLC 
26 August 2010 
 

This announcement replaces the announcement released under RNS Number 6034R at 
10:48 on Wednesday 25 August. 
The valid acceptances of the Offer received is 495,284 and not 739,025, as 
previously stated.  The discrepancy relates to the fact that the 739,025 number 
included market purchases conducted by Deepdale which have been previously 
announced. 
In all other respects the announcement remains unchanged.
