                        RESULTS OF COURT MEETING AND EGM

                  Recommended acquisition by SHS Group Limited

Merrydown PLC ("Merrydown") is pleased to announce that the resolutions to
approve the recommended acquisition of the issued and to be issued share capital
of Merrydown by SHS Group Limited for 170 pence cash per share by means of a
Scheme of Arrangement were duly passed at a Court Meeting and an Extraordinary
General Meeting held yesterday in London.

The Court hearing of Merrydown's petition to sanction the Scheme and to confirm
the reduction of Merrydown's share capital is expected to take place on 3 May
2005. Subject to the Scheme receiving the sanction and confirmation of the Court
on that date, the effective date of the Scheme is expected to be 4 May 2005 and
consideration due to shareholders is expected to be sent by 18 May 2005. On that
basis, the last day for dealings in Merrydown Shares on the London Stock
Exchange is expected to be 3 May 2005 and no transfers of Merrydown Shares will
be registered after 6.00 p.m. on that date. If the Scheme becomes effective on 4
May 2005, the listing of Merrydown Shares is expected to be cancelled on that
date.

Terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as set out in the
Scheme Document dated 14 March 2005.
