FBD Rejects Eureko Approach

The Board of FBD Holdings plc ("FBD") notes the continuing weekend press
speculation and confirms that it has received a further letter from Eureko B.V.
The Board again confirms that it has not received an offer or an intention to
make an offer.

The Board has, in conjunction with its advisers Goldman Sachs International and
Goodbody Corporate Finance, considered all aspects of the approach and has
concluded that it is entirely without merit.

Accordingly, the Board rejects this approach.
