LONDON, April 23, 2010 - 2 Sisters, a subsidiary of Boparan Holdings Ltd, today announced its
intention to purchase the Dutch-based Storteboom Group. This acquisition
further increases 2 Sisters presence as one of the leading organisations
within the UK and European food industry. The acquisition will be completed
as soon as possible following appropriate merger clearance and approvals. The
central works council of Storteboom Group has been asked to render its advice
and this process is ongoing.

2 Sisters was established in 1993 by CEO Ranjit Singh and still remains a
privately owned company, supplying retail, food service and manufacturing
companies worldwide, from sites in the UK, Holland and the USA. The company
has evolved from a small cutting operation to a world class food
manufacturer, employing over 5,500 dedicated staff and annualised sales
exceeding GBP750 million.

Storteboom Group is a Dutch-based poultry processing business that is
well established within the European poultry market for fresh and frozen
products. The Storteboom Group employs over 1,200 staff in Holland and
Poland.

2 Sisters CEO, Ranjit Singh, said:

"This intended acquisition is a strategic next step within our long-term
business plan which is focused on growth through long term partnerships. The
Storteboom Group and 2 Sisters' existing Dutch business are complimentary,
providing an established platform to support expansion in Central Europe."

This acquisition brings opportunity to leverage the best of Storteboom
and 2 Sisters. During this transition, both companies will continue to focus
on their customers and as such it's business as usual.

The aspiration of the new integrated structure is to increase market
share and become the "best in class" business within the European poultry
industry.
