RESPONSE TO MEDIA REPORTS REGARDING DELEVERAGING PLAN

The Interserve Board notes today's Sky News article and confirms that it has been in discussions with Coltrane and its lenders which have sought to establish the basis on which Coltrane would support the company's restructuring proposal.

Although the Board is seeking to improve the position of all shareholders, there is no certainty that it will be able to do so in the very limited time available.

The only proposal which is currently capable of being implemented is the recommended Deleveraging Plan through which, inter alia, shareholders will retain 5% of the equity of the restructured Interserve with the ability to acquire further equity through the open offer.
