Withdrawal from the PLUS market 
 
The Board of Directors of Angela Flowers Gallery PLC ("the Company") has been 
reviewing the relative merits of maintaining a listing of the Company's shares 
on the PLUS-quoted market ("PLUS market", formerly OFEX). Having given due 
consideration to the advantages and disadvantages of the listing, the view of 
the Board is that it would be more beneficial for the future of the Company and 
the shareholders if the Company were to proceed to delist from the PLUS market. 
It is planned that the shares will be withdrawn from trading on 9th December 
2009. 
 
Reasons for the withdrawal 
 
The Company originally listed on the PLUS market on 22nd May 1997 to create a 
market for its shares. The Company has raised equity on two occasions since its 
listing with offers for subscription on 14th March 2002 and 18th December 2003. 
The Company also issued equity in the Company to Nicholas Taylor when he was 
made a Director on 13th December 2007. However, the Company now feels the 
burden of remaining on the PLUS market is too onerous. 
 
The Board believes that the future development of the business should be 
focussed firmly on achieving stability in a difficult economic climate and to 
minimise administrative and professional costs. As required the Company where 
possible would look to raise debt finance for its future requirements. The 
Board considers that the cost of maintaining the listing does not currently 
represent best use of shareholders' funds, nor of management time. 
 
The Board is of the view that the future development of the business is not 
dependant upon the maintenance of the PLUS market listing and that the business 
and shareholders will not be disadvantaged by the proposed move. The Directors 
believe that the Board and management should focus on the development of the 
business and optimising shareholder value with minimum distractions from this 
goal and therefore recommends that the Company's shares are withdrawn from 
trading on the PLUS market. 
 
Alternative arrangements for dealing in the Company's shares 
 
Following the withdrawal from PLUS, no formal mechanism for trading in the 
Company's shares will exist. Whilst there can be no guarantee that shareholders 
will be able to sell any shares, any shareholder seeking to do so following the 
delisting should contact the Company in writing at its head office, Flowers 
East, 82 Kingsland Road, London E2 8DP (email: gallery@flowerseast.com). The 
Company will then be able to advise as to whether the Directors are aware of 
any prospective buyers for any Ordinary Shares which the holder thereof wishes 
to sell at that time. 
 
Under PLUS rules, the Company is requiredto give shareholders a period of 10 
business days to object to the intended withdrawal of its securities from the 
PLUS market. Any shareholder wishing to raise an objection should contact PLUS 
in confidenceby 8 December 2009 (e-mail: regulation@plusmarketsgroup.com, 
telephone: 0207553 2000).
