(a Landmark Group company)
for
Carluccio's plc
Compulsory Acquisition of Outstanding Carluccio's Shares
On 4 October 2010 C1 Acquisitions Limited ("C1") announced that the recommended
cash offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Carluccio's,
(excluding the Landmark Group Shares and Management Rollover Shares) had been
declared unconditional in all respects and that C1 intended to invoke the
provisions of Chapter 3 of Part 28 of the Companies Act 2006 to acquire
compulsorily any Carluccio's Shares in respect of which acceptances have not
been received.
As at 1.00 p.m. on 27 October 2010, the latest practicable date prior to the
making of this announcement, C1 had acquired or contracted to acquire by virtue
of acceptances of the Offer a total of 57,762,434 Carluccio's Shares,
representing approximately 90.8 per cent. of the issued share capital of
Carluccio's.
Consequently, C1 announces the despatch today of compulsory acquisition notices
to Carluccio's Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer.
The Offer, as set out in the offer Document, will remain open for acceptance
until further notice.
Terms defined in the Offer Document have the same meaning as when used in this

This announcement may contain "forward looking statements" concerning the
Landmark Group and Carluccio's. Generally, the words "will", "may", "should",
"continue", "believes", "expects", "intends", "anticipates" or similar
expressions identify forward looking statements. The forward looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those suggested by them. Many of these risks and uncertainties
relate to factors that are beyond the ability of the Landmark Group and
