AGA FOODSERVICE GROUP PLC
RESULT OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Aga Foodservice Group plc (the "Company") is pleased to announce that all of 
the resolutions proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting held earlier 
today, were duly passed as special resolutions unanimously on a show of hands.
   
Shareholders have accordingly approved the proposed Return of Cash to 
shareholders of 121 pence per Existing Ordinary Share by way of one B share or
C share for each Existing Ordinary Share and a 3 for 5 share capital
consolidation, as set out in the Circular to Shareholders dated 28th March 2008.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange and the UK Listing
Authority for the admission to the Official List of 69,204,840 New Ordinary
Shares of 46 7/8 pence each. It is expected that these shares will be admitted 
to the Official List at 8.00 a.m. on 12th May 2008.

The Company is also pleased to announce that the allotment of the B shares and
the C shares and the share capital consolidation have been approved at a
meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company held
immediately after the Existing Ordinary Share register closed and the Existing
Ordinary Shares were disabled in CREST earlier today. No application has been,
or will be made for the B shares or C shares to be admitted to listing on the
Official List or admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for
listed securities or any other recognised investment exchange.

Following the share consolidation the number of shares in issue will reduce to
69.2 million. The average number of shares in issue in 2008 will be
approximately 86 million.
