Update in relation to the recommended acquisition of Imprint by Sawbuck UK Limited ("Premier UK") to be implemented by means of a scheme of
arrangement under section 899 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme") 

    Court Confirms Reduction of Capital

    Imprint and Premier UK are pleased to announce that, at a hearing held earlier today, the Court granted an order confirming the
Reduction of Capital provided for by the Scheme. 

    As previously announced, the Scheme was sanctioned by the Court at a hearing on 20 May 2008. This followed the approval of the Scheme by
the requisite majorities of Imprint Shareholders at the Court Meeting and the Imprint EGM held on 2 May 2008.

    Subject to office copies of the Scheme Court Order and Reduction Court Order being delivered to and, in the case of the Reduction Court
Order, registered by the Registrar of Companies, it is expected that the Scheme will become Effective on 23 May 2008. 

    It is therefore expected that Imprint Shares will be suspended from trading on AIM with effect from 7.00 am tomorrow, 23 May 2008. The
admission of Imprint Shares to AIM is expected to be cancelled with effect from 7.00 am on 27 May 2008 following the Scheme becoming
Effective.

    Once the Scheme is Effective, all Scheme Shares will be cancelled and New Imprint Shares will be issued to Premier UK. In exchange for
the cancellation of their Scheme Shares, Scheme Shareholders will be entitled to receive 115 pence in cash for each Scheme Share held at the
Scheme Record Time, being 6.00 pm today, 22 May 2008. Settlement of the cash consideration is expected to be effected by 6 June 2008 at the
latest.

    Capitalised terms in this announcement have the same meaning as set out in the Scheme Document unless the context requires otherwise.
