�750,000 Contract Win with Shell Egypt
Plexus Holdings PLC, the AIM quoted oil and gas engineering services business, has agreed with Shell Egypt, a leading oil and gas
exploration, development and production company, to supply, subject to completion of relevant contract terms, the Company's proprietary
POS-GRIP� High Pressure/High Temperature ("HP/HT") exploration rental wellhead systems in the Egyptian Eastern Mediterranean Sea. The value
of the contract is estimated at �750,000 with revenues anticipated to commence 2009.
Shell Egypt will utilise Plexus' POS-GRIP 15,000 psi, HP/HT 18.75 inch single stack surface wellhead technology for exploration
activities in the Egyptian region of the Mediterranean Sea. This is the Company's second agreement with a Shell operating company and second
contract win in the Northern African region, illustrating that it is fulfilling its objectives of strengthening its international market
penetration and developing POS-GRIP as a new industry standard for wellhead design.
Plexus CEO Ben van Bilderbeek said, "We are naturally delighted to have secured our second contract win in Northern Africa, and to
further strengthen our relationship with Shell. Plexus' strategy is to increase the exposure of our unique wellhead technology in the
international arena. Our rental-supply model provides an excellent opportunity to do this, effectively creating a shop window to showcase
the POS-GRIP method of engineering, and prepare operators for the use of elastically deformed wellhead designs in the mainstream production
wellhead market. Over time the Directors of Plexus expect POS-GRIP designs to become the wellhead technology of choice among leading oil and
gas corporations."

Petro-Canada Trinidad & Tobago, RWE, Repsol, StatoilHydro, Silverstone Energy, Talisman Energy, Tullow Oil, and Wintershall.
The Company plans to accelerate the roll out of POS-GRIP technology as a superior alternative to current wellhead technology. It has
particular advantages in HP/HT and X-HP/HT oil and gas environments for which there is increasing demand throughout the world. The Company's
long-term goal is to develop POS-GRIP technology as the future industry standard for wellhead design. This objective includes the
distribution of POS-GRIP technology through licensees to maximise market penetration.
