At the meeting, CEO Ben van Bilderbeek said, "We are delighted to welcomeshareholders to our inaugural AGM since flotation in December last year and toreport substantial progress. Our POS-GRIPTM proprietary method of engineeringfor wellheads and connectors continues to win market share and importantcontracts have been secured for both exploration wellhead equipment rental andproduction equipment from key customers including Brunei Shell Petroleum Sdn Bhd(Shell), Maersk Oil North Sea Ltd, and BG International Ltd (BG). This is acredit to our highly skilled workforce and management team. Consequently, withits advantages including enhanced safety and time and cost savings, we believethat the market will increasingly embrace POS-GRIP as the wellhead technology ofchoice, as the implications for not using it will be too great to ignore,particularly in the less conventional high pressure/high temperatureapplications. "We continue to develop our already strong relationships with majorinternational oil and gas companies, including BG, BP, ConocoPhilips and Shell,and look forward to further news flow and progression of our strategy in orderto continue to deliver on our business objectives." * * ENDS * * Contacts: Ben van Bilderbeek Plexus Holdings Plc Tel: 020 7589 8555Graham Stevens Plexus Holdings Plc Tel: 020 7589 8555Hugo de Salis St Brides Media & Finance Ltd Tel: 020 7242 4477 Notes: The Plexus Group is an established oil and gas engineering, and service businessbased in Aberdeen, with an office in London and a presence in Houston, Texasthrough PDT.
