has today made

Court, it is expected that the last day of dealings in Protherics
Shares will be 3 December 2008 and the listing of Protherics Shares
will be cancelled at 8.00 a.m. on 4 December 2008, the anticipated
Effective Date of the Scheme. An expected timetable of principal events
is set out in the Appendix to this
announcement.
Terms defined
