For Immediate Release 15 April 2013

C. A. Sperati (The Special Agency) PLC

("CAS" or the "Company")

Proposed Disposal of Greenwich Property

The directors of CAS ("Directors") are pleased to announce that on 15 April 2013 the Company entered into a conditional contract with Knightspur Homes Limited ("KHL") (a wholly owned subsidiary of Cavendish and Gloucester Properties Limited), to sell its freehold land and property based in Greenwich ("Greenwich") ("Disposal") for a total cash consideration of £446,000 ("Consideration"). The Disposal is conditional on the approval of Shareholders of CAS ("Shareholders") which will be sought at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company ("EGM").

The Consideration is payable as to £171,000 on the completion date ("Completion"), a deferred payment of £175,000 six months following Completion and a further sum of £100,000 on the date falling on the earlier of ten working days after KHL secures planning permission authorising redevelopment of Greenwich for mixed use purposes and 18 months following Completion.

Theestimated taxation liability which is attributable to the Company following the proposed Disposal is approximately £40,000. Therefore, the Company will receive approximately £406,000 net of its tax liability following the Disposal.

As at 31 October 2012, the value attributed to Greenwich in the balance sheet of the Company was a book value of £39,436.

Greenwich is the Head Office and main trading location of the buttons and trimmings business owned and operated by CAS. The premises is also used for storage purposes. As part of the transaction it has been agreed that the Company will lease back the property for a period of 6 months at a rent of £1,500 per month while alternative accommodation is secured.

As the Directors stated in their announcement of final results released on 28 February 2013 and subsequently in their interim management statement released on 18 March 2013, they have recently been considering the sale of Greenwich to free up working capital. The Consideration will provide the Company with additional working capital which will enable the Company to settle outstanding creditors and purchase stock for incoming contracts. The Directors believe that this should help the Company to increase sales in the long term.

The Disposal constitutes a Class 1 Transaction under the Listing Rules and is therefore conditional on the approval of Shareholders at an EGM. Shareholders will be provided with notification of the EGM in conjunction with the dispatch of a circular, containing details of the proposed Disposal, in due course.

Kevin Jackson, Chairman of CAS, commented

"The Disposal has come at an ideal time for CAS which is in need of working capital. The Greenwich property is too large and is therefore uneconomic for CAS's present requirements, and is in a poor state of repair. Through this sale and temporary lease contract, the Directors hope to find a more suitable premises for the buttons and trimmings business to operate from which is less isolated and better located for our customer base".
