Birmingham City plc ("the Company")


Extraordinary General Meeting

The Board has recently received notices from Grandtop International Holdings
Limited, holder of 24,375,975 ordinary shares representing 29.91 per cent. of
the issued share capital of the Company, requesting and requiring resolutions to
be put to a General Meeting of the Company to appoint two additional directors,
Messrs Fan Zhi Yi and Steven McNanaman.

These notices were served under section 303 of the Companies Act 2006 and the
Board is legally obliged to put these resolutions to shareholders, although the
Board does not support them and does not believe that the proposed appointments
are in the best interests of the Company.  The Company's Annual General Meeting
("AGM") is being held at 4.00pm on 20 February 2008 at St Andrews Stadium.  The
Company is therefore convening an Extraordinary General Meeting at which these
resolutions will be put, to be held either at 6pm on the same day or, if later,
immediately after our AGM is concluded.

The Board has, in a letter to shareholders, unanimously recommended that
shareholders vote against the resolutions in the Notice, as they each intend to
do in respect of the beneficial holdings in which they exercise the voting
rights and which amount to 38,395,405 of the Company's issued ordinary shares,
representing 47.1 per cent. of the voting rights exercisable at the General
Meeting.
