                Announcement - for immediate release 
Recommended cash offer by Ryecroft Glenton on behalf of Maymask (15) 
 Limited to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital 
                                 of 
                          Centrom Group Plc 
Date: 24 April 2009 
Offer declared unconditional in all respects 
Maymask is pleased to announce that, as at 11.00am on 24 April 2009, 
valid acceptances of the Offer had been received in respect of a 
total of 161,599,343 Centrom Shares, representing approximately 75.32 
per cent. of the entire issued share capital of Centrom. 
The Offer was conditional on Maymask receiving valid acceptances in 
respect of not less than 90 per cent. (or such lower percentage as 
Maymask may decide) of Centrom Shares to which the Offer relates, 
subject to Maymask acquiring or agreeing to acquire (pursuant to the 
Offer or otherwise) more than 50 per cent. of the Centrom Shares. 
Maymask announces that it has elected to waive the requirement to 
receive acceptances of not less than 90 per cent. and that, having 
acquired or agreed to acquire approximately 75.32 per cent. of the 
Centrom Shares, the Offer is declared unconditional as to 
acceptances. 
The Maymask Board is therefore now pleased to announce that all of 
the conditions to the Offer have now been satisfied or waived and 
that, accordingly, the Offer is today declared unconditional in all 
respects. 
As announced by Maymask on 13 March 2009, Maymask received 
irrevocable undertakings to accept (or procure the acceptance of) the 
Offer from the directors of Centrom who hold Centrom Shares in 
respect of their entire beneficial holdings of, in aggregate, 
19,988,876 Centrom Shares, representing approximately 9.32 per cent. 
of the Centrom entire issued share capital. In addition, irrevocable 
undertakings to accept (or procure the acceptance of) the Offer were 
received by Maymask from one other Centrom Shareholder, Mark 
Venables, in respect of his entire beneficial holding of, in 
aggregate, 62,855,085 Centrom Shares, representing approximately 
29.30 per cent. of the entire issued share capital of Centrom. In 
total, therefore, Maymask received irrevocable undertakings to accept 
(or procure the acceptance of) the Offer in respect of, in aggregate, 
82,843,961 Centrom Shares, representing approximately 38.62 per cent. 
of the entire issued share capital of Centrom. All of these Centrom 
Shareholders have now accepted (or procured the acceptance of) the 
Offer to such extent. 
Notice is hereby given that the Offer will remain open for acceptance 
until further notice. Centrom Shareholders who have not yet accepted 
the Offer are urged to do so as soon as possible.
