AGM Statement

At today's Annual General Meeting of The Clapham House Group PLC ("Clapham House" or "the Company"), the following statement will be made by David Page, Clapham House's Chairman:

"The UK trading environment and outlook remain challenging and although August has shown signs of a return to the improved pre World Cup sales trends, weekly performance remains volatile.

Following the placing in May 2010, the Gourmet Burger Kitchen ("GBK") roll-out programme for the current financial year is progressing well. GBK has opened in Nottingham and two further sites are under construction including one at The O2 complex in Greenwich which will open later today and one at the Trafford Centre, Manchester, due to open in October. One further site has also been secured for the current financial year.

On 29 July 2010, the Board of Clapham House announced that it had received an approach which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the Company. The Board remains in discussions with the potential offeror but there can be no certainty that an offer will be made for the Company or the terms on which such an offer may be made. A further announcement will be made in due course, as appropriate."
