Notes to Editors 
The Company has decided to seek a change of name to more accurately reflect the 
changed nature of its mainstream business.  Over the last few years the Company 
has increasingly moved its focus towards the "retirement homes" market. 
 
Due to overwhelming demographic pressure and driven by government policy there 
is an increasing need for the provision of suitable housing for the growing 
number of elderly people in the UK who wish to continue to live in their own 
homes.  The Company is now moving into the Extra Care retirement sector, an 
offering which sits between older style retirement housing and full residential 
and care homes, which are typically very expensive. 
 
This enables people to benefit from enhanced security and the opportunity to 
avail themselves of increasing levels of domiciliary and healthcare services. 
The Company has moved towards providing these services for its new retirement 
housing schemes, which are called Extra Care Schemes. The Company therefore 
proposes to change its name to Wren Extra Care Group Plc.
