Press Release Body: Commercial law partner at one of the south east’s leading law
firms Furley Page has assisted Aliaxis Holdings UK Ltd in reorganisations involving
asset and share purchases worth millions of pounds throughout the group.

Aliaxis Holdings UK Ltd is an intermediate parent company of a worldwide group of
manufacturing and supply companies in the plastics industry whose turnover in 2007
was more than €2.1 billion (euros).

Susan Jennings, 35 and head of the corporate team at Furley Page’s Thames Gateway
office at Chatham, worked closely with the Aliaxis team on two group reorganisations
redistributing millions of pounds within the group and a buyback of shares in one of
the UK subsidiaries for more than £60 million.

Aliaxis group purchasing director Paul Baigent and Susan created template purchasing
documents and a suite of terms and conditions allowing Aliaxis much greater control
over what is issued to suppliers and potential suppliers.

Susan commented: “Working with Aliaxis is very rewarding – largely because of the
innovative but pragmatic attitude of the group. This latest project highlighted the
need for global companies to be aware of how much money they could save by
streamlining their purchasing operations and having certainty about what contract
terms are agreed.”

Finance director Susan Dix added: “Susan’s can-do attitude and experience in her
field result in an efficient and effective working relationship. Her friendly,
accessible and practical approach, together with her legal knowledge, is a real
asset to our business.”

Furley Page’s corporate team recently acted for the shareholders in the sale of
Exposure Events UK Ltd - organisers of the annual Building Schools Exhibition and
Conference. The purchase price was in the region of £2.6 million.
