The Board of Mallett PLC ("Mallett" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the
appointment of James Heneage and Eloy Michotte to the Board of Mallett as
non-executive directors. The appointments will take effect from 1 July 2007.

James Heneage, aged 49, was the founder of the Ottakar's chain of bookshops
which he created in 1987, floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1998 and sold

MBA from the University of Chicago. He has had an extensive career in
international business and finance, having worked for Ford, McKinsey & Co and
Bankers Trust Company, prior to joining Richemont at the time of its formation
in 1988, when he was appointed to the Board. He also serves on the board of
Net-a-Porter Limited.

The Board is pleased to welcome these two new non-executive directors to the
Company and believes that, with their knowledge and experience in business and
the retail sector, they have much to offer in the future development of the
Company.

The Board is also hoping to make a further non-executive director appointment in
the near future, with the expectation that the appointment will also be
effective from 1 July 2007.
