Re: Disposal of French Business

French Competition Authority gives unconditional approval to the sale of Marie SAS to Groupe L.D.C.

Further to the announcement made on 10 July 2009 regarding the sale of Marie SAS, Uniq’s French chilled and frozen convenience foods business, to Groupe L.D.C. for a consideration of €60 million (£51 million, see note), Uniq announces that it has been notified that the French Competition Authority gave unconditional clearance to the transaction on 22 September 2009.

Completion of the disposal is therefore expected to take place on 7 October 2009.

Uniq’s Q3 interim management statement for the period from 1 July 2009 to 30 September 2009 will be announced on 15 October 2009.

Note: £/€ exchange rate of 1.17 as of 25 June 2009 has been used for translating the values relating to this transaction.
