                           ("ESS" or the "Company")                            

The Board of Equity Special Situations Limited, (AIM: EQS), the strategic
investment company today was granted an interim injunction ("Injunction")
against Landsbanki Islands HF and its agents ("Landsbanki"). The Injunction has
been sought in response to alleged unlawful attempts by Landsbanki to sell
certain shares owned by ESS ("Shares"). The Shares are held at Landsbanki as
security for a long term loan facility between ESS and Landsbanki ("Loan"). ESS
has received legal advice stating that ESS is not in default of its obligations
under the Loan. Under the Injunction, Landsbanki "shall not sell or otherwise
deal with or dispose of or charge or pledge or part with possession custody or
control of any of the shares" owned by ESS.

A further announcement will be made in due course.
