                              CASH OFFER
                                   
                     on behalf of Miller 1999 plc
                                   
                             for CALA plc


Miller  1999 plc ("Miller") notes the announcement earlier today  of  a
200p  matching cash offer for CALA plc ("CALA") on behalf  of  Dotterel
Limited ("Dotterel"), the MBO vehicle of the CALA executive directors.

Dotterel states in its announcement that its "conditions are fewer  and
less  onerous  than those contained in the announcement of  the  Miller
final  offer".   Following Miller's announcement  earlier  today,  this
statement is now incorrect.

In  its announcement earlier today, Miller made it clear that its offer
will  be  conditional only upon receipt of acceptances which,  together
with  shares  already owned by Miller, represent  over  50%  of  CALA's
ordinary  share capital (ie all other conditions of the offer  will  be
waived).

It is clear that the Miller offer conditions are fewer and less onerous
than  those contained in the announcement of the Dotterel final  offer.
Miller is in discussions with the independent directors of CALA through
their  advisers with a view to seeking a recommendation to  its  offer.
Miller strongly encourages CALA shareholders to accept its offer, which
will be posted shortly.

Given the very high gearing level which Dotterel would have as a result
of  a  successful  200p offer, Miller remains convinced  that  its  own
proposals will produce the best outcome for key stakeholders in CALA  -
employees, customers and suppliers.
