RE KENTUCKY FOODS GROUP LIMITED (KFGL) INVESTMENT: Prestige Holdings Limited (Prestige) hereby advises that in accordance with its earlier press release of December 3, 2011, Prestige has entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 10, 2012, for the sale of the fifty percent (50%) shareholding and ownership interest in KFGL owned by Prestige to Prestige’s Joint Venture Partner, Montlac Corp. (Montlac).

The financial effects of that transaction were anticipated and accounted for in Prestige’s recently published financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2011, and no further losses or charges are expected from this investment.

The Prestige Directors are satisfied that the sale of the KFGL investment, upon
the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, is in the best interests of Prestige
