Court Meeting And Extraordinary General Meeting ResultsLondon — 4 August 2006 — telent plc (LSE: TLNT) (the “Company”) today announces that at the meeting convened by the Court and held earlier today, on 4 August 2006, (the “Court Meeting”) to vote on the proposed scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) between the Company and the holders of Independent Scheme Shares (as defined in the circular to shareholders dated 26 June 2006 (the “Circular”)), the resolution was not passed by the requisite majority on a poll and the Scheme has lapsed. The Board believed the Scheme offered attractive value to shareholders and, therefore, regrets this result. The Board will continue to implement its business plan to position the Company as a leading Communications Services business focused on the telecommunications and enterprise markets in the UK and Germany and is confident that it has the strategy to grow the business successfully. The results for the first 6 months will be presented in November 2006. The voting of those members who cast votes either in person or by proxy at the Court Meeting is summarised below:
