Recommended Acquisition
by
Patron Sports Leisure S.a.r.l.
(a company indirectly owned by Patron Capital
L.P. III)
of
Powerleague Group plc
Court sanction of Scheme and confirmation of Capital Reduction
Powerleague Group plc ("Powerleague" or the "Company") announces that the High
Court of Justice has today made an order sanctioning the Scheme by which Patron
Sports Leisure's Acquisition of Powerleague is being implemented and confirming
the reduction of Powerleague's share capital (save for the Excluded Shares) in
connection with the Scheme.
The Scheme will become Effective upon the Court Order being delivered to the
Registrar of Companies (and the registration of such order (together with the
Statement of Capital attached thereto) by the Registrar of Companies) which is
expected to take place on 27 November 2009.
With effect from 4.30 p.m. on 25 November 2009, Powerleague Shares were
temporarily suspended from the London Stock Exchange. The admission to trading
on AIM of Powerleague Shares will be cancelled at 7.00 a.m. on 30 November 2009,
not on 27 November 2009 as previously announced.
A detailed timetable of events for the Scheme is set out in the scheme document
dated 16 October 2009 (the "Scheme Document").
Copies of the Scheme Document are available for inspection during normal
business hours on any business day at the offices of Osborne Clarke at One
London Wall, London EC2Y 5EB, up to and including the Effective Date.
Words and expressions defined in the Scheme Document shall, unless the context
provides otherwise, have the same meanings in this announcement.

Dealing disclosure requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or becomes,
'interested' (directly or indirectly) in one per cent. or more of any class of
'relevant securities' of Powerleague, all 'dealings' in any 'relevant
securities' of Powerleague (including by means of an option in respect of, or a
derivative referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must be publicly
disclosed by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the London business day
following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue
until the date on which the Scheme becomes effective, lapses or is otherwise
withdrawn or on which the 'offer period' otherwise ends. If two or more persons
act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or
informal, to acquire an 'interest' in 'relevant securities' of Powerleague, they
will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all 'dealings' in 'relevant
securities' of Powerleague by Patron Sports Leisure or Patron Capital, or by any
of their respective 'associates', must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon
(London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant
transaction.
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose 'relevant
securities' 'dealings' should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.
'Interests in securities' arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an 'interest' by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the
Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required
to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.
