                               CASSELL PLC

The  Directors  of  Cassell plc ("Cassell"or  the  "Company")  note  the
announcements    this   morning   by   Macmillan   Publishers    Limited
("Macmillan").

The  Directors  of Cassell believe that the Offer does not  reflect  the
underlying  value  of  Cassell's publishing assets and  accordingly  the
Board will be exploring all its options to ensure that shareholder value
is  maximised.  The Directors of Cassell, advised by Charterhouse Tilney
Securities  Limited, urge shareholders to take no further  action  until
the  Board  of  Cassell has had the opportunity to  consider  the  Offer
alongside other options for the future of the Company.

The  Directors of Cassell point out that whilst Macmillan has  purchased
14.9%  of Cassell, the remainder of the indications of support  for  the
Offer  cease  to  be  binding in the event of a  competing  offer  which
exceeds Macmillan's offer by 10% or more.
