AGM Statement
Plexus Holdings PLC, the AIM quoted oil and gas engineering services business,
will hold its Annual General Meeting today at which Robert Adair, Chairman, will
make the following statement:
"Despite this period of global uncertainty and financial pressures, Plexus
delivered excellent results, recording a 14% increase in turnover to GBP15.1m
and pre-tax profits of GBP1.8m. As a result, we were delighted to initiate the
payment of an inaugural dividend at our half year and hope to adopt a
progressive dividend policy going forward. As such a final dividend of 0.38p per
share is being proposed for formal approval at today's Annual General Meeting.
"Our growth was driven by our High Pressure/High Temperature ('HP/HT') POS-GRIP
wellhead rental activities, in which we have continued to invest in inventory.
Furthermore various new and extended contracts with major international oil and
gas companies were signed during the period, which highlight the growing
recognition of our products and the superior nature of our POS-GRIP method of
engineering. These included ConocoPhillips, Royal Dutch Shell plc, Shell Egypt,
Brunei Shell Petroleum Sdn Bhd, BP Egypt and Red Sea Petroleum Operating
Company.
"I have no doubt that the year ahead will continue to present challenging market
conditions as global markets stabilise.. However, our financial year has already
begun well, with four new contracts signed since the beginning of July 2009.
This gives me confidence that Plexus, with its patented proprietary technology,
strong client base and robust balance sheet, is well positioned to weather the
recent downturn in oil and gas exploration activity and in turn, see steady
growth throughout the remainder of the year and beyond.

Notes to Editors:
Plexus, which began trading on AIM in December 2005, is an established oil and
gas engineering and services business which supplies wellhead and mudline
suspension equipment for exploration and production applications based in
Aberdeen, with an office in London, Cairo, Kuala Lumpur and a presence in
Houston, Texas. It has developed and patented a method of engineering for oil
and gas field wellheads and connectors, POS-GRIP, which involves deforming one
tubular member against another to effect gripping and sealing.
POS-GRIP wellhead systems have to date been used or selected to be used in over
140 oil and gas wells by international companies including BHP Billiton, BG
International, BP, Brunei Shell Petroleum, Centrica, ConocoPhillips, Dubai
Petroleum, GDF SUEZ, Global Santa Fe, Maersk, Petro-Canada Trinidad & Tobago,
Red Sea Petroleum Operating Company, Repsol, RWE, Shell Egypt, StatoilHydro,
Silverstone Energy, Talisman Energy, Tullow Oil, and Wintershall.
The Company plans to accelerate the roll out of POS-GRIP technology as a
superior alternative to current wellhead technology. It has particular
advantages in HP/HT (High Pressure/High Temperature) and X-HP-HT (Extreme High
Pressure/High Temperature) oil and gas environments for which there is
increasing demand throughout the world. The Company's long-term goal is to
develop POS-GRIP technology as the future industry standard for wellhead design.
This objective includes the distribution of POS-GRIP technology through
licensees to maximise market penetration.
