RNS Number:2044U FII Group PLC 13 January 2004 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 13 January 2004 Fii Group Plc Fii Group Plc (the "Company") announces that at its annual general meeting held on 31 December 2003 the resolutions adopting the Company's report and accounts for the year to 31 May 2003 and the directors' remuneration report were not put to the meeting. This was because the report and accounts will not be finally signed off and be capable of being circulated to shareholders until the fundamental uncertainty surrounding the funding of the agreement with the Company's pension fund trustee has been resolved. The Company, as announced on 23 October 2003, has reached agreement with the pension fund trustee for a settlement which, inter alia, involves the payment of #2.8 million to the pension fund together with the grant of an option over the Company's enlarged share capital. This settlement was approved by the High Court on 11 December 2003 and the Company has, in conjunction with its advisers Beaumont Cornish and Hoodless Brennan, been pursuing an equity fund raising to fund the cash element of the settlement. The pension fund trustees had agreed an extension of the time needed to complete the settlement and the Company had hoped to be in a position to announce the terms of a fund raising during the course of this week which would have enabled the settlement with the pension fund to be completed by mid February. However the Company has been notified by Dr Justin Stewart and Mr Aidan Earley, shareholders who own or have the backing of shareholders owning in aggregate more than 25% of the Company's issued equity capital, that, prior to approving the proposed equity fund raising, they and their colleagues wish the Board to consider an alternative course of action involving funding the pension compromise in a different manner, whereby shareholders (as a whole) would suffer less dilution, and to appoint two additional directors to the Board. Given that the fund raising proposals being pursued by the Board would have required the passing of a special resolution (requiring a majority of more than 75%) to take effect, the Board considered that it should explore the new proposal. Accordingly, your Board is actively pursuing this alternative proposal (which remains subject to due diligence and contract) and the pension fund trustee has been informed. However, the Board cannot predict how the pension fund trustee, which has been very supportive to date, will view the proposed changes to the timing and manner of resolving the settlement. At the Company's annual general meeting resolutions to re-elect Douglas Ware as Executive Chairman and re-appoint Mazars as the Company's auditors were approved as was a resolution granting the Board authority to issue shares for cash up to a specified limit. A resolution to re-appoint Gary Feast as a non-executive director was not passed following a poll and consequently he is no longer a Board member although he remains Company Secretary and a director of Fii Footwear Management Limited. Dr Justin Stewart has been appointed to the Board as a non executive director. Dr Stewart is a dental surgeon by profession and a director of Stewart Dental Management Limited, a private company which services larger dentistry organisations. In addition, Dr Stewart runs two property businesses, the first dealing in property refurbishment in the UK, and the second in the purchase and sale of overseas property in Spain and Cyprus. At the date of his appointment, Dr Stewart had interests in 3,374,947 ordinary shares in the Company. There is no further information to be disclosed in relation to Dr Stewart under sections 6.F.2 (b) to (g) of the Listing Rules. A further announcement regarding the alternative proposals to fund the pension compromise agreement will be made as soon as possible.
