EIH Plc (the "Company" or "EIH" )

Update

Further to the announcement made on 11 May, it is expected that the appointment of a new nominated adviser will be announced shortly.

William Knight, Chairman said "We believe that there have been very positive developments for the Company in recent months and that the current directors of EIH have, as a small non-executive independent Board, achieved a considerable amount to greatly improve the internal management function of the Company without the support of an investment manager. Foremost amongst these achievements are the new procedures that the Company has put in place to provide regular net asset value ("NAV") reporting. The Company most recently announced on 4 May 2010 that unaudited NAV per share had increased 20.2% over and above the announced unaudited NAV per share as at 30 June 2009."
