CLARIFICATION AND

FURTHER DELAY IN DESPATCH OF THE CIRCULAR RELATING TO DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF THE ENTIRE ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Reference is made to (a) the announcement of Birmingham International Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) dated 9 December, 2010 (the “ First Announcement ”) in relation to, inter alia, the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of the Target Company, which constitutes a discloseable and connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules; and (b) the announcement of the Company dated 31 December, 2010 in relation to delay in despatch of the Circular to 31 March, 2011 (the “ Second Announcement ”). Terms used herein shall have the same meanings as defined in the First Announcement and the Second Announcement unless defined otherwise.

The board of directors of the Company wishes to clarify that there was an inadvertent error in the First Announcement. The definition of the term “Long Stop Date” in the section headed “Definitions” on page 14 of the First Announcement was wrongly stated. The definition of the term “Long Stop Date” should read as “30th June 2011 or such other later date as may be agreed in writing between the Purchaser and the Vendor”.

As additional time is required for the Company to prepare certain information to be included in the Circular including valuation report, a letter of advice from independent financial advisor and other information as required under the Listing Rules, the despatch date of the Circular will be further postponed from 31 March, 2011 to no later than 30 June, 2011.

Shareholders and investors should note that the Agreement is subject to various conditions as stated in the section headed “Conditions precedent” in the First Announcement and therefore the Acquisition may or may not complete. As such, investors and Shareholders are urged to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
