Summary 
 
On 19 January 2015, the boards of Beales and English Rose, a company controlled 
by Andrew Perloff and his family trusts, announced that they had reached 
agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer to be made by English Rose 
for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Beales (the "Offer"). 
The full terms of, and conditions to, the Offer together with the procedures 
for acceptance were set out in the Offer Document posted to Beales Shareholders 
on 29 January 2015. 
 
The Offer was declared unconditional in all respects on 20 February 2015 
following the revised acceptance condition of not less than 50 per cent. in 
nominal value of Beales Shares being met. Subsequently, on 5 March 2015, Beale 
applied to the UK Listing Authority and to the London Stock Exchange for the 
cancellation of the admission of the Beales Shares to listing on the Official 
List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed 
securities. The cancellation is expected to take effect from 8.00 a.m. on 2 
April 2015. 
 
In the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Beales to be held on 23 April 2015 a 
special resolution has been included that, subject to shareholder approval, 
Beales re-registers from being a public limited company to being a private 
limited company under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act. 
 
Extension of the Offer 
 
English Rose announces that the Offer, which remains subject to the terms and 
conditions set out or referred to in the Offer Document, is being extended and 
will remain open for acceptance until 1.00 p.m. (London time) on Thursday 2 
April 2015. 
 
English Rose encourages all Beales Shareholders who have not yet accepted the 
Offer to do so as soon as possible and no later than 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 
Thursday 2 April 2015. 
 
Level of acceptances 
 
As at 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 19 March 2015, valid acceptances of the Offer 
had been received in respect of 14,700,626 Beales Shares (representing 
approximately 65.11 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of Beales), 
which English Rose may count towards the satisfaction of the acceptance 
condition to the Offer. 
 
In addition, as announced on 11 March 2015, following the conversion by 
Portnard Limited of a portion of its holding of 7,000,000 Convertible 
Preference Shares, Portnard Limited, the holding company of English Rose, holds 
2,050,427 Beales Shares, representing 9.08 per cent. of the issued Beales 
Shares. Portnard Limited is in the process of accepting the Offer in respect of 
such Beales Shares, which have not been included in the valid acceptances of 
the Offer received as at 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 19 March 2015. 
 
Furthermore, Beales has allotted a further 227,572 Beales Shares, conditional 
on cancellation of the listing of Beales Shares on the standard segment of the 
UK Listing Authority's Official List. 
 
Prior to making the Offer, English Rose obtained irrevocable undertakings to 
accept the Offer from the Concert Party in respect of 6,100,000 Beales Shares, 
representing, in aggregate, approximately 29.72 per cent. of Beales' issued 
ordinary share capital and irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer from 
certain other Beales Shareholders (including from the Beales Directors who hold 
interests in Beales Shares) in respect of 839,140 Beales Shares, representing, 
in aggregate, approximately 4.09 per cent. of the issued ordinary share capital 
of Beales. As at 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 19 March 2015, valid acceptances 
had been received in respect of all Beales Shares subject to irrevocable 
undertakings. 
 
The percentages of Beales Shares referred to in this announcement are based 
upon a figure of 22,575,224 Beales Shares in issue at 1.00 p.m. (London time) 
on 19 March 2015. 
 
Procedure for acceptance of the Offer 
 
Beales Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer are urged to do so 
without delay and in accordance with the following: 
 
-     To accept the Offer in respect of Beales Shares in certificated form 
(that is, not in CREST), Beales Shareholders must complete the Form of 
Acceptance in accordance with the instructions printed on it and in accordance 
with paragraph 15.1 of the Letter from the Chairman of English Rose set out in 
Part I of the Offer Document and return it (along with any appropriate share 
certificate(s) and/or other document(s) of title) using the accompanying 
reply-paid envelope (for use within the UK only) as soon as possible to Capita 
Asset Services. 
 
-      To accept the Offer in respect of Beales Shares in uncertificated form 
(that is, in CREST), Beales Shareholders should follow the procedure for 
electronic acceptance through CREST in accordance with the instructions set out 
in paragraph 15.2 of the Letter from the Chairman of English Rose set out in 
Part I of the Offer Document so that a TTE Instruction settles as soon as 
possible. 
 
A Beales Shareholder who has any questions about the Offer, or who is in any 
doubt as to how to complete the Form of Acceptance or make an Electronic 
Acceptance should contact Capita Asset Services on 0871 664 0321 from within 
the UK or on +44 20 8639 3399 if calling from outside the UK. Calls to the 0871 
664 0321 number cost 10 pence per minute (including VAT) plus your service 
provider's network extras. Calls to the helpline from outside the UK will be 
charged at applicable international rates. Different charges may apply to calls 
from mobile telephones and calls may be recorded and randomly monitored for 
security and training purposes. Lines are open 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. (London 
time) Monday to Friday. The helpline cannot provide advice on the merits of the 
Offer nor give any financial, legal or tax advice. 
 
Settlement of consideration 
 
The consideration to which any Beales Shareholder is entitled under the Offer 
will be settled within 14 days of receipt of a valid Form of Acceptance in the 
manner described in the Offer Document. 
 
Compulsory acquisition, cancellation of trading and re-registration as a 
private company 
 
On 5 March 2015, Beale applied to the UK Listing Authority and to the London 
Stock Exchange for the cancellation of the admission of the Beales Shares to 
listing on the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main 
market for listed securities. The cancellation is expected to take effect from 
8.00 a.m. on 2 April 2015.The cancellation of the listing of the Beales Shares 
will significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any Beales Shares 
in respect of which valid acceptances of the Offer have not been submitted. 
 
In the Notice of Annual General Meeting to be held on 23 April 2015 a special 
resolution has been included that, subject to shareholder approval, Beales 
re-registers from being a public limited company to being a private limited 
company under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act. 
 
If English Rose receives acceptances of the Offer in respect of, and/or 
otherwise acquires or contracts to acquire, 90 per cent. in nominal value of 
the Beales Shares to which the Offer relates, English Rose intends to exercise 
its rights pursuant to the provisions of Part 28 of the Companies Act, as 
applicable, to acquire compulsorily any remaining Beales Shares to which the 
Offer relates on the same terms as the Offer.

English Rose nor any of the directors of English Rose nor (as far as English 
Rose is aware) any person acting in concert with English Rose, is interested
