Result of AGM & Notice of EGM

Aukett Group PLC 10 February 2004 Aukett Group PLC 10 February For Immediate Release 10 February 2004 AUKETT GROUP PLC (the 'Company') Further to its announcement on 27 January 2004, Aukett Group Plc, the international group of architects, designers and engineers headquartered in London, announces that ballot papers for the polls in relation to certain resolutions proposed at the Company's Annual General Meeting ('AGM'), will be despatched to all shareholders as soon as practicable this week. The polls will be conducted, and the results of the voting will be declared, at (or as soon as reasonably practicable after) 10.00 am on Wednesday, 25 February 2004 at the Company's registered office. Since the AGM, discussions have taken place between the Board and Imagina Management S.L. ('Imagina'), the Company's largest shareholder, owning approximately 13.62% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company. Imagina, with the support of some other shareholders, is seeking certain changes to the board of directors, as referred to in the Company's announcement on 27 January 2004. The Company had, on that date, announced its intention to convene an extraordinary general meeting on 25 February 2004 at which the relevant issues could be presented to shareholders. As a result of the discussions that have taken place, Imagina has committed to the Company that it will vote its shares in favour of all those resolutions (including the re-election of directors) which were proposed at the AGM and in respect of which polls will be conducted by ballot on 25 February 2004. The Company has, in turn, agreed to convene an extraordinary general meeting to be held on 25 March 2004, at which resolutions for the removal from the Board of Group Managing Director Geoffrey Harwood, Group Marketing Director Stuart McLarty, non-executive Chairman Ian Mavor and non-executive director Ian McQuattie, and for the appointment of Jose Luis Ripoll, Gerald Deighton and Stephen Beckers, will be proposed. Pending the outcome of the EGM, the Company has agreed not to appoint any additional directors to the Board (unless the number of directors falls below 3, and then only to increase the number of directors to 3) nor alter the terms of employment or engagement of any current Board member. The purpose of this arrangement is to ensure that a board of directors remains in place in order to manage the Company's affairs until the position of the current directors can be properly discussed by shareholders at the EGM. The Company and Imagina have also agreed that neither will propose any other resolution, or amendment to the above-mentioned resolutions, for consideration at the EGM, or convene or requisition any other extraordinary general meeting of the Company prior to the holding of the EGM respectively. A notice convening the extraordinary general meeting, together with an explanatory circular from the Board and a statement by Imagina, will be despatched by the Company to shareholders in due course. Neither the Company nor Imagina or their respective representatives intend making any further public statements on these matters before the EGM, other than in the above mentioned circular and statement.
