CustomVis plc

('CustomVis' or 'the Company')

Requisition of General Meeting

The Directors of CustomVis, announce that following the receipt of separate requisitions from several shareholders, the last one of which was received on 21 May 2009, a valid requisition has now been received to call a General Meeting of the Company. Under the Companies Act 2006, the Company has 21 days in which to call the meeting and the directors will be sending a notice of meeting to shareholders in due course. The notice of meeting will be accompanied by a letter from the independent director giving the reasons why he will be recommending that shareholders vote against all the resolutions. 

The Requisition Group

The requisition group, which consists of the beneficial interests of Simon Gordon, Mukesh Jain and William Colvin, has requisitioned a General Meeting of the Company to consider resolutions to remove Simon Carroll, the current Chairman, and Paul van Saarloos, the CEO, and substitute these directors with three replacement directors, namely, Simon Gordon and Hugh Grant as directors and Christopher Bell, as a non-executive director.

Previous failure to submit a valid requisition

Initially the requisition group failed to submit its requisition in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and the Company's Articles of Association. These provisions are specific on the manner in which a requisition is to be initiated and the requisition group failed to follow these requirements. 

Recommendation

Shareholders are recommended by the independent director not to take any action until the notice of meeting is sent to shareholders.
