For Immediate Release 13 December 2012

Specialist Energy Group plc

("SEGR", the "Company" or "Group")

Notice of General Meeting

Specialist Energy Group plc (AIM: SEGR), the specialist engineering group, is pleased to announce that on Friday 14th December a Notice of General Meeting will be posted to Shareholders regarding:

·; A proposed change of name for the Company to Hayward Tyler Group Plc;

·; Consent to amend the Company's Articles of Association to allow the Annual Report to be provided electronically to Shareholders via the website.

The Board believes that the change of name will enable clearer communication to stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, employees and shareholders given that the performance of the Company is driven by our principal subsidiary Hayward Tyler Group Limited ("Hayward Tyler"), which is a market leader in the design, manufacture and service of critical application pumps and fluid filled motors in the power generation and oil and gas markets.

The Board also believes the use of electronic communications for the Annual Report will deliver savings to the Company in terms of administration, printing and postage costs. The reduced use of paper will also have environmental benefits.

The General Meeting will be held at the offices of Irwin Mitchell LLP, 40 Holborn Viaduct, London EC1N 2PZ at 10 am on 29 January 2013. Copies of the Notice of General Meeting and Proxy Form are available for download from the Company's website www.segroupplc.com.

Ewan Lloyd-Baker, CEO of the Company, commented:

"Having sought opinions across our stakeholder audiences, the Board is confident that the proposed name change will allow the Group to leverage significantly off the strong progress made by our main operating subsidiary during 2012.

"The Board is likewise confident that as a result of the steps taken during the year to improve operational efficiencies, reduce debt and penetrate new markets, the Company will deliver an improvement in operating profit and earnings for the full year as well as a greater than expected reduction in our net debt position. We also believe that Hayward Tyler's order intake will be up by around 10% on 2011 reflecting our continuing expansion in oil and gas and new business wins in the export markets of China and India."
