CLUB STATEMENT - OFFER UPDATE
Fri 19 Oct 2007

Recommended Offer by Sarita Capital Investment Inc. ("Sarita Capital") for QPR Holdings Limited ("QPR") - Repayment of Loan

Further to the Offer Document published and posted to QPR Shareholders on 27 September 2007, QPR are to immediately repay a loan of £805,207.02 (the "Anaid Loan") due to Anaid Holdings Limited ("Anaid") from the proceeds of the Convertible Loan Facilities provided by the Sarita Concert Party.

Anaid Investments Limited holds 3,570,000 shares in QPR, representing approximately 3.6 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company. Whilst Anaid Investments Limited, which is connected to Anaid, has agreed irrevocably to vote in favour of the resolutions at the EGM of the Company to be held on 7 November 2007, as set out in Part B of Appendix IV of the Offer Document, it has also notified the Company that it will not accept the Offer.

It is in the commercial interests of the Company to repay the Anaid loan, along with certain other creditors, as soon as possible. ARM Corporate Finance Limited believes that the repayment of the Anaid Loan is fair and reasonable so far as other QPR Shareholders are concerned.
