Result of Court Hearing 
 
 
On 28 July 2009, the Company announced a recommended cash offer by Sanctuary for 
the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company (the 
'Proposal'), to be implemented by scheme of arrangement. The Scheme Document, 
containing the terms and conditions of the Scheme and further information on the 
Proposal, was posted to Wogen Shareholders on 18 August 2009. Unless otherwise 
stated, defined terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as 
those used in the Scheme Document. 
 
 
On 15 September 2009, the Company announced that at the Court Meetings and 
General Meeting all the resolutions to approve  the Scheme were passed by 
the requisite majorities. 
 
 
Today, at the first of two Court Hearings required as part of the Scheme, the 
Court sanctioned the Scheme and the Scheme Court Order made at the Court Hearing 
was delivered to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales shortly after 
the Court Hearing. 
 
 
A second Court Hearing will take place on 1 October 2009 at which the Court will 
consider and if thought fit make the Reduction Court Order to confirm the 
reduction of the share capital of the Company. 
 
 
If the Reduction Court Order is made then the Scheme Effective Date will be 2 
October 2009 and Delisting of the Wogen Shares from AIM will now take effect 
from 07:00 a.m. on 5 October 2009.
