A. Cohen & Co. plc ('A. Cohen' or the 'Company')
On 18 June 2003 the Company announced that it had received a conditional
preliminary approach from an existing shareholder which may or may not lead to
an offer for the balance of the shares in the Company not already held by that
shareholder. Furthermore, the Company announced that any offer by that
shareholder would be conditional on, inter alia, the withdrawal or defeat of the
resolutions relating to the proposed acquisition by the Company of ROO Media
Europe Limited (the 'Acquisition') to be proposed at the extraordinary general
meeting convened for 30 June 2003 (the 'Meeting').
In light of the above, the Independent Directors propose that only the
resolution relating to the proposed disposal of the Woolwich Site will be put to
the Meeting and that thereafter the Meeting will be adjourned to 10.00 a.m. on
14 July 2003, at which adjourned meeting the resolutions relating, inter alia,
to the Acquisition and change of name will be put to shareholders.
