Lees Foods plc ("Lees" or the "Company")

Completion of Buyback and TVR Update

Further to the announcements made on 4 December 2009 and 5 January 2010 and the shareholder approval subsequently obtained on 25 January 2010, the Company is pleased to announce that the buyback of 65,000 ordinary shares of £1.00 each in the Company (the "Share Buyback") has now been completed. The shares purchased through the Share Buyback have been cancelled. 

For the purposes of the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company notifies the market that, following the Share Buyback, the Company's issued share capital comprises the following:

2,339,751 ordinary shares of £1.00 with voting rights.

The Company does not hold any shares in treasury and there are no other classes of shares with voting rights. Consequently the Company's total number of voting rights is 2,339,751 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in Lees, under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
