Statement regarding Possible Offer

Anexo notes the announcement released at 4.24 pm yesterday (the "Possible
Offer Announcement") by DBAY Advisors Limited ("DBAY") and Alan Sellers and
Samantha Moss regarding a possible offer to be made by them for the entire
issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Anexo (save for those
already owned by DBAY, Alan Sellers and Samantha Moss) (the "Possible
Offer").

Anexo further notes that the current expectation is that any offer for Anexo
shall comprise loan notes issued by a newly incorporated entity jointly
controlled by funds managed or advised by DBAY, and Alan Sellers and Samantha
Moss, or ordinary shares with an underlying economic interest in the newly
incorporated entity making the Possible Offer.

Anexo has not received any proposal in respect of the Possible Offer from the
potential offerors.

Anexo advises that shareholders take no action at this time.

This statement is being made by Anexo without the prior agreement or approval
of DBAY, Alan Sellers and Samantha Moss.

As a consequence of the Possible Offer Announcement, the Company is now in an
"offer period" as defined in the Takeover Code and the attention of the
Company's shareholders is drawn to the dealing disclosure requirements of Rule
8 of the Takeover Code, which are summarised below.

A further announcement will be made if and when appropriate.

Disclosure requirements of the Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of
any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities
exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which
it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash)
must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the
offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities
exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must
contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights
to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company
and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by
a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm
(London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the offer
period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th
business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange
offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant
securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to
the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a
Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1%
or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any
securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals
in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities
exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing
concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to
subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and
(ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details
have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person
to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London
time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding,
whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant
securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will
be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by
any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company,
by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see
Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant
securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made
can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Panel's website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant
securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was
first identified. You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on
+44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to
make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.
