It is intended that the Offer will be effected by way of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act. Unless otherwise defined, all capitalised terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Appendix IV of this announcement. Under the terms of the Offer, Scheme Shareholders will be entitled to receive 20 pence in cash for each Autologic Share held, representing a premium of approximately: per cent. to the Closing Price of 11.5 pence per Autologic Share on 23 May 2012 (being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period); and per cent. to the average Closing Price of 12.8 pence per Autologic Share for the three month period up to and including 23 May 2012 (being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period); and per cent. to the average Closing Price of 16.9 pence per Autologic Share for the twelve month period up to and including 23 May 2012 (being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period). - The Offer values the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Autologic at approximately 12.4 million. The Offer price of 20 pence per Autologic Share is final and will not be increased. Stobart reserves its right to increase the Offer if a third party announces a possible offer or offer for Autologic. The Acquisition will be funded using Stobart s existing cash resources. It is intended that the Acquisition will be effected by way of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act The Scheme will require the approval of Scheme Shareholders and the sanction of the Court. Upon the Scheme becoming effective, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders, irrespective of whether they attend or vote at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting (and if they attended and voted, whether or not they voted in favour). Stobart reserves the right, with the consent of the Panel, to effect the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer under certain circumstances.
2 The Autologic Directors, who have been so advised by Kinmont (as Autologic's financial adviser), consider the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable. In providing advice to the Autologic Directors, Kinmont have taken into account the commercial assessments of the Autologic Directors. Accordingly, the Autologic Directors have agreed to recommend unanimously that Scheme Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting. Stobart has received irrevocable undertakings from Artemis Investment Management LLP and Schroder Investment Management Limited and an undertaking from Invesco Asset Management Limited to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting, in respect of a total of 31,718,005 Autologic Shares, representing approximately 51.0 per cent of the ordinary share capital of Autologic in issue on 15 June 2012 (being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement). Stobart has obtained a letter of intent from Henderson Global Investors Limited to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting, in respect of an aggregate total of 6,434,950 Autologic Shares representing, in aggregate, approximately 10.3 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of Autologic in issue on 15 June 2012 (being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement). In aggregate, therefore, irrevocable undertakings, undertakings and letters of intent to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting have been received in respect of a total of 38,152,955 Autologic Shares, representing approximately 61.3 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of Autologic. Further details of these irrevocable undertakings, undertakings and letters of intent are set out in Appendix III to this announcement. The Stobart Directors believe that, in order to maximise its future potential, Autologic would benefit from being part of the Stobart Group. In particular, the Stobart Directors believe that Autologic would benefit from Stobart s buying power in relation to new vehicles, maintenance, tyre and parts supplies and insurance. In addition, the Stobart Directors believe that there are opportunities for Autologic to expand further into the European market, where the Stobart Group has a growing presence. The Stobart Directors also believe that there are a number of strategic opportunities that would arise following the Acquisition. The car transportation sector suffers from significant levels of one-way traffic flow of cars from the main ports to dealerships, with resultant empty running on the return leg. The Stobart Directors believe that the ability of Autologic to use the Stobart Rail infrastructure would reduce the level of empty running and derive key operating and environmental benefits as a result. In addition, Autologic should be able to benefit from the Stobart Group s significant storage sites both in terms of car storage and also overnight truck parking. The Stobart Directors believe that Autologic is a compelling strategic fit with Stobart and enables Stobart and its brand to enter the car transportation and vehicle services markets with immediate critical mass. The Acquisition will be subject, inter alia, to the satisfaction or waiver of the Conditions set out in Appendix I to this announcement. Further details of the Scheme will be set out in the Scheme Document which will be sent out to Autologic Shareholders as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event within 28 days of this announcement. Commenting on the Offer, Avril Palmer-Baunack, Chief Executive of Autologic, said: The combination of Stobart and Autologic will further strengthen Autologic s market-leading position in the automotive marketplace. It will enable us to provide new, flexible and innovative solutions to our
3 customer base, whilst also giving us the opportunity to improve competitiveness as a result of being part of a bigger business. Commenting on the Offer, Andrew Tinkler, CEO of Stobart, said: "Autologic is an excellent fit with our group strategy to expand into complementary service offerings and it will facilitate our entry into the auto-logistics market in a leading position. We expect to be able to drive substantial synergies and efficiencies from improved fleet utilisation, vehicle buying and maintenance, which will benefit our customers and drive value for our shareholders. We also see opportunities to expand Autologic s presence in Europe where we have a growing presence." Cenkos is acting as sole financial adviser and broker to Stobart.

The Offer Under the terms of the Offer, which will be subject to the applicable Conditions and further terms set out in Appendix I to this announcement and to be set out in the Scheme Document, Scheme Shareholders will be entitled to receive: 20 pence in cash for each Autologic Share ( Offer Price ) The Offer values the entire existing issued ordinary share capital of Autologic at approximately 12.4 million and represents a premium of approximately: per cent. to the Closing Price of 11.5 pence per Autologic Share on 23 May 2012 (being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period); per cent. to the average Closing Price of 12.8 pence per Autologic Share for the three month period up to and including 23 May 2012 (being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period); and per cent. to the average Closing Price of 16.9 pence per Autologic Share for the twelve month period up to and including 23 May 2012 (being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period).

9 The Offer Price is offered on the basis that Autologic Shareholders will not receive any further dividends. If a dividend on Autologic Shares is declared or is otherwise payable before the Acquisition is completed the Offer Price shall be reduced by the amount of that dividend. 3. Background to and reasons for the Offer Stobart is confident in the overall prospects for Autologic s operating business but believes that, in order to maximise its future potential, Autologic would benefit from being part of the Stobart Group. In particular, the Stobart Directors believe that Autologic would benefit from Stobart s buying power in relation to new vehicles, maintenance, tyre and parts supplies and insurance. In addition, the Stobart Directors believe that there are opportunities for Autologic to expand further into the European market, where the Stobart Group has a growing presence. The Stobart Directors also believe that there are a number of strategic opportunities that would arise following the Acquisition. The car transportation sector suffers from significant levels of one-way traffic flow of cars from the main ports to dealerships, with resultant empty running on the return leg. The Stobart Directors believe that the ability of Autologic to use the Stobart Rail infrastructure would reduce the level of empty running and derive key operating and environmental benefits as a result. In addition, Autologic should be able to benefit from the Stobart Group s significant storage sites both in terms of car storage and also overnight truck parking. In summary, the Stobart Directors believe that Autologic is a compelling strategic fit with Stobart and enables Stobart and its brand to enter the car transportation market with immediate critical mass. 4. Recommendation The Autologic Directors, who have been so advised by Kinmont as sole financial adviser to Autologic, consider the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable. In providing advice to the Autologic Directors, Kinmont has taken into account the commercial assessments of the Autologic Directors. Accordingly, the Autologic Directors have agreed to recommend unanimously that Scheme Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting. 5. Irrevocable undertakings, undertakings and letters of intent Stobart has received irrevocable undertakings from Artemis Investment Management LLP and Schroder Investment Management Limited, an undertaking from Invesco Asset Management Limited and a letter of intent from Henderson Global Investors Limited to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting, in respect of a total of 38,152,955 Autologic Shares, representing approximately 61.3 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of Autologic in issue on 15 June 2012 (being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement). Further details of these irrevocable undertakings, undertakings and letters of intent (including the circumstances in which they will fall away) are set out in Appendix III to this announcement. 6. Background to and reasons for the recommendation In the twelve months from 24 May 2011 to 23 May 2012 Autologic saw a share price decline of approximately 47.7 per cent. Management has been faced with the difficulties of being a small company in transport and motor industry terms and raising capital to grow against a background of a weak share price and limited investor interest in supporting equity issues.
10 On 23 May 2012 Autologic received a formal approach from Stobart and the Autologic Directors determined that it was right in principle to consider a sale of Autologic and to consult shareholders on the approach. The Autologic Directors received feedback from its major shareholders that a sale of Autologic was in the circumstances a sensible course to pursue. On 14 June 2012, Stobart confirmed at a meeting of the Stobart Directors, subject to certain diligence being completed, a cash offer of 20 pence per Autologic Share. In the circumstances the Directors determined that the sale of Autologic was the appropriate course of action. The Autologic Directors, who have been so advised by Kinmont, consider the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable. In providing their advice, Kinmont have taken into account the commercial assessment of the Autologic Directors. Accordingly, the Autologic Directors will unanimously recommend to Autologic Shareholders to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting. 7. Information on Stobart and Stobart Holdings Stobart is quoted on the Premium Listing of the Official List and is admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. Employing around 5,600 people at more than 50 sites across the UK, the Stobart Group is a FTSE 250 listed company and one of the country s best known brands. The Stobart Group is a UK leader in the multimodal logistics, warehousing and biomass fuel sectors, as well as operating in the property development, port, airport and civil engineering sectors. Stobart Air is operator of both the London Southend and Carlisle Lake District Airports whilst Stobart Biomass reflects the Stobart Group s emphasis on sustainability, supplying environmentally responsible fuels for low carbon electricity generation. At the heart of the Group s offering is Stobart Transport and Distribution which operates Eddie Stobart, the iconic name on approximately 5,400 vehicles and trailers. Alongside an existing holding of around 6m sq.ft of premium quality warehousing within this division, the last year has seen a further 275,000 sq.ft warehouse added to the business at Magna Park, allowing for growth of existing customer demands. The comprehensive multimodal service package is completed by the Stobart Group s highly successful rail freight services. Stobart Estates forms the holding company for the Stobart Group s large property portfolio. Property assets are made up of a combination of sites utilised by the business, plus commercial holdings that comprise a broad spectrum of sites ranging from premium quality offices in central London through retail parks to light industrial and warehousing locations. Stobart Infrastructure & Civil Engineering delivers a comprehensive package of services centred on maintenance and improvement of the United Kingdom rail network and the construction of high quality industrial, commercial and transport facilities. It supplies services both for the Stobart Group itself and for some of the UK s leading businesses. Although Stobart Transport & Distribution still represents over 90 per cent. of the business s turnover, the Group has diversified in recent years through the acquisition of, inter alia, further transport businesses, airports, a Biomass fuel supply business and other property-related investments. These new areas of activity will form increasingly important profit and revenue streams for the Stobart Group in years to come. 8. Information on Autologic

This review may or may not result in headcount reduction from overlapping business areas. Stobart has advised the Autologic Directors that it has no intention of changing the location of Autologic's operational places of business or of redeploying the fixed assets of the Autologic Group before completion of the review. Stobart plans to work with the Autologic management team to develop and integrate the Autologic business within the existing Stobart Group.

Structure of the Offer It is intended that the Offer will be effected by means of a Scheme between Autologic and Scheme Shareholders under Part 26 of the Companies Act. However, as described in more detail in paragraph 17 and Appendix I, Stobart reserves the right to elect to implement the Acquisition, with the consent of the Panel, by way of a Takeover Offer. The purpose of the Scheme is to provide for Stobart Holdings to become the holder of the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Autologic. This is to be achieved by the cancellation of the ordinary shares and the application of the reserve arising from such cancellation in paying up in full a number of New Autologic Shares (which is equal to the number of ordinary shares cancelled), and issuing the same to Stobart Holdings, in consideration for which the Scheme Shareholders will receive cash consideration on the basis set out in paragraph 2 of this announcement. To become effective, the Scheme must be approved by a majority in number of those Scheme Shareholders entitled to vote and present and voting at the Court Meeting (either in person or by proxy) representing at least 75 per cent. in value of the Autologic Shares voted, together with the approval of the Court and the passing at the General Meeting of a special resolution necessary to implement the Scheme and approve the related Reduction of Capital. The Scheme is also subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in Appendix I to this announcement and to be set out in the Scheme Document. Once the necessary approvals from Scheme Shareholders have been obtained and the other Conditions have been satisfied or (where applicable) waived, the Scheme must be approved by the Court. The Scheme will then become effective upon delivery of the Court Order(s) to the Registrar of Companies. Subject to satisfaction of the Conditions, the Scheme is expected to become effective in August Upon the Scheme becoming effective in accordance with its terms, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders, irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting (and, if they attended and voted, whether or not they voted in favour). The New Autologic Shares to be issued to Stobart Holdings pursuant to the Scheme will be issued fully paid and free from all liens, charges, equities, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and any other interests of any nature whatsoever and together with all rights attaining thereto, including voting rights and the rights to receive and retain in full all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in or after the date of their issue. The Offer will lapse if: - the Court Meeting and the General Meeting are not held by the 22 nd day after the expected date of such meetings to be set out in the Scheme Document in due course (or such later date as may be agreed between Stobart and Autologic); or
13 - the Scheme does not become effective by 18 October 2012 (or such later date as may be agreed between Stobart and Autologic), provided however that the deadlines for the timing of the Court Meeting, the General Meeting and the effectiveness of the Scheme as set out above may be waived by Stobart. Upon the Scheme becoming effective, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders, irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting. Further details of the Scheme, including an indicative timetable for its implementation, will be set out in the Scheme Document, which is expected to be despatched to Scheme Shareholders as soon as reasonably practicable. 15. Regulatory issues The Offer will be subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in Appendix I to this announcement and to be set out in the Scheme Document. 16. Cancellation of trading on AIM and re-registration Prior to the Scheme becoming effective, Autologic will make an application for the cancellation of trading of Scheme Shares on AIM to take effect from or shortly after the Effective Date. The last day of dealings in Autologic Shares on AIM is expected to be the Business Day immediately prior to the Effective Date and no transfers will be registered after 6.00 p.m. (London time) on that date. On the Effective Date, share certificates in respect of Autologic Shares will cease to be valid and entitlements to Autologic Shares held within the CREST system will be cancelled. It is also proposed that, on or shortly after the Effective Date, Autologic will be re-registered as a private limited company. 17. General Stobart reserves the right to elect to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer as an alternative to the Scheme. In such event, the Acquisition will be implemented on substantially the same terms as those which would apply to the Scheme (subject to appropriate amendments, including an acceptance condition set at 90 per cent. of the shares to which such offer relates or such lesser percentage, being more than 50 per cent., as Stobart may decide). The Offer will be made subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in Appendix I to this announcement and to be set out in the Scheme Document.
