                                 Proventec Plc 
 
                         ("Proventec" or the "Company") 
 
        Agreement in Principle reached and Further Update re Suspension 
 
Further to the announcements on 21 and 25 June, the Board of Proventec is 
pleased to announce that following the agreement between InnoConcepts N.V. 
("InnoConcepts") Proventec's major shareholder with 36.2% of the share capital, 
and the representatives of 75% of the GBP15 million 8.5% fixed rate convertible 
guaranteed unsecured loan notes 2012, Proventec has now reached agreement in 
principle for a comprehensive restructuring with the representatives of the loan 
notes which includes: 
+----+-------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | a cash injection of GBP2.5 million;                   | 
|    |                                                       | 
+----+-------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | a reduced value and coupon loan note; and             | 
|    |                                                       | 
+----+-------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | a significant conversion of debt and loan notes into  | 
|    | equity.                                               | 
+----+-------------------------------------------------------+ 
 
It is likely that the restructuring will require the approval of shareholders 
and it is the intention of the Board that, if so required, an appropriate 
circular to shareholders calling a general meeting of the Company, and setting 
out any necessary resolutions for shareholder approval together with a more 
detailed explanation of the background to the proposals and the terms agreed, 
will be sent out as soon as possible. 
 
Until such time as the circular with regard to the above agreement can be 
published, the Company will remain suspended pending clarification of its 
financial position which is expected shortly.  A further announcement will be 
made in due course.
