The Company was informed on 27 February 2006 that on that date the personal pension fund of Mr Andrew Perloff, purchased 1,570,000 Elektron ordinary shares, resulting in a total holding at that date of 2,170,000 such shares. In addition Mr Perloff holds 2,000,0000 shares and Panther Securities plc, of which he is chairman and a major shareholder, holds 9,090,909 shares. Accordingly, Andrew Perloff is interested in a total holding of 13,260,909 ordinary shares, or 16.77% of the Company's issued share capital.

Further to an announcement made by Elektron on 21 February 2006, the family and associated holdings of Mr JAD Skailes, a former director of the Company, have now sold the 2,215,000 ordinary shares in on market transactions within five business days of the date thereof.
