Press Release                                                        8 June 2006

                                Cyan Holdings Plc
                                        
                            ("Cyan" or "the Group")
                                        
       
        Cyan Technology appoints German distribution company to sell eCOG
                                microcontrollers
                                        

      Technical strength and application of CyanIDE will influence Cyan's
                 microcontroller business across two continents


Cyan Holdings Plc (AIM: CYAN.L), the fabless semiconductor company specialising
in the development of low power consumption, configurable microcontroller chips,
has appointed high-tech Germany-based distribution company Glyn GmbH to sell
Cyan's low power highly-reconfigurable eCOG microcontrollers. Primarily
targeting Germany, this agreement will also develop business for Cyan in
Austria, Norway, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand.


With a turn-over in excess of 100million Euros Glyn is now Cyan's largest
distributor outside China where Cyan has already seen significant design-ins and
orders.


Glyn Jones, MD of Glyn said, "We have watched Paul and the team at Cyan grow
their offering over the last two years and firmly believe the eCOG range will
maximise our ability to meet certain developers' emands. Increasingly they need
more functionality but with lower power consumption. Right now very few devices
really meet those requirements.


"Cyan provides this lower power demand and, in addition, ever-present
time-to-market pressures can also be reduced by Cyan's world class development
tools. The eCOG range's capabilities combined with Cyan's CyanIDE tools present
enormous possibilities for us."


Paul Johnson, CEO of Cyan, commented: "All the markets that Glyn covers are
important to Cyan and Germany is one of the world's biggest specifiers of
microcontrollers. We believe that Glyn's highly regarded team will help us gain
a notable share of that market and, based on its track-record, we also expect
Glyn to capture some excellent design-ins for Cyan in the other territories.


"Convincing designers to select a new microcontroller supplier requires a
certain approach and a great deal of dedication and education, we know that the
process is now in excellent hands."


Cyan now has distribution in more than 50 countries worldwide and has its own
sales and technical support office in Hong Kong to service the fast growing
electronics market in East Asia.
