WARNING TO SHAREHOLDERS

It has come to our attention that recently a number of smaller shareholders have received unsolicited telephone calls concerning their investments in United Carpets Group plc. Such calls have related to offers to potentially purchase shares for considerably more than the current market price, further details of which would be disclosed once the shareholder concerned signed a non-disclosure agreement.

Shareholders should be wary of any unsolicited advice. Following a recent increase in the prevalence of so-called "boiler room" scams, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and the Institute of Chartered Secretaries (ICSA) have produced a leaflet warning investors about unsolicited communications concerning investment matters, which is available in full by clicking on the link below. Please note the following recommendations in particular if you receive any unsolicited investment advice:

Make sure you get the correct name of the person and organisation.
Check that they are properly authorised by the FSA before getting involved by visiting www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/register.
Report the matter to the FSA either by calling 0845 606 1234 or visiting www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk.
If the calls persist, hang up.

If you have any queries, please contact Mr Ian Bowness, Company Secretary on 01709 732666 ext 851.
