UNIQ PLC ("UNIQ")

DISPOSAL OF THE NETHERLANDS BUSINESS UNITS

On 17 November 2009, Uniq, the convenience foods group, announced that it had reached agreement on the proposed sale of the Netherlands Business Units to Gilde Equity Management (GEM) Benelux, for a total enterprise value of €20.0 million (£18.0 million).

Uniq today announces that the required consultation process with the Netherlands Works Councils relating to this proposed transaction has now been completed and that a sale and purchase agreement, binding on both parties, has today been signed.

A circular will shortly be posted to shareholders, giving details of the transaction and convening a General Meeting in early January 2010 to consider approval of the Disposal.

Completion, which is subject to competition authority clearance in the Netherlands and Germany, is expected to follow shortly after shareholders’ approval of the transaction has been received.
