Re: Offer update
The board of Dowgate notes the earlier announcement today from Blue
Oar Plc ("Blue Oar") in respect of
irrevocable undertakings it has received from two shareholders of Dowgate, who
in aggregate are interested in 16.9% of the Company's issued share capital, to
accept an offer from Blue Oar, if made, pursuant to Rule 2.5 of the City Code.
The board of Dowgate believes that the level at which Blue Oar is attempting to
acquire your Company is opportunistic and undervalues Dowgate.
Shareholders should note that Blue Oar announced on 16 April 2009 that it was
considering its position regarding a possible offer for Dowgate. However, to
date, no firm offer has been made by Blue Oar and there can be no certainty that
an offer will be made.
A further announcement will be made in due course.In the meantime, shareholders
are advised not to take any action.

respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must
