For Immediate Release                            

NIPSON DIGITAL PRINTING SYSTEMS PLC ("Nipson" or "Company")

Update on Financial Restructuring

Background

All concerned parties, and in particular all shareholders and holders of warrants or options, are referred to the different announcements and particularly the announcements made on 18 and 25 of September 2009 concerning the financial restructuring of the Nipson Group ("Nipson and its subsidiaries") as well as to the different notes contained in the 2008 Annual Report & Accounts. These documents are all available for viewing or downloading on the Investors AIM Rule 26 section of the Group's website: www.nipson.com.

Management of Nipson confirms that D. Roseman Nipson Limited Partnership ("Roseman"), Polar Communications LTD ("Polar") and Creacorp NV ("Creacorp") will not take steps to enforce the repayment of debt due to them until end of October 2009. 

In parallel, and in order to find solutions for its solvency situation, the Board continues to negotiate for long term solutions with especially Polar and Creacorp. However, the Board confirms that, if no sustainable solution has been reached between the parties, the Board will need to consider arranging a Company Voluntary Arrangement ("CVA") for the Company, in order to try to come to a settlement among all creditors. 

Takeover Code

Although the Company is incorporated in England, the place of central management of the Company is currently located outside of the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man because the main place of business is in France.  Accordingly, the Company is one to which paragraph 3(a)(ii) of the Takeover Code does not apply, and the Panel has confirmed that the Company is not subject to the Takeover Code and shareholders will not be afforded any protection under the Code. 

If circumstances change, including if changes to the Board are made, the Company will consult with the Panel to ascertain whether this will affect the central place of management of the Company.  If the Panel determines that, as a result of such changes, the Takeover Code becomes applicable to the Company, an announcement will be made.
