The Board of The Conygar Investment Company PLC ('Conygar') is pleased to
announce that today it exchanged contracts to purchase the 33.33% of Martello
Quays Limited ('Martello') that it does not already own.
The total consideration for the acquisition is £3,172,500 which will be paid as
to £600,000 in cash and the balance through the issue to the vendors of
1,500,000 new ordinary shares in Conygar at a price of 171.5 pence per share.
The contracts are conditional upon the new shares being admitted to trading on
AIM.
Following completion, Conygar will now own 100% of Martello which is the

has moved to the detailed legal and planning phase.
Application has been made for the 1,500,000 new ordinary shares allotted
pursuant to the above transaction to be admitted to trading on AIM. These
shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares
and admission is expected to become effective on 4 April 2008.
