RNS Number : 7258Z Kentz Corporation Ltd 28 September 2009

Kentz Corporation Limited

(the "Company")

Significant Shareholding

London, Monday 28 September 2009: Kentz Corporation Limited (LSE: KENZ), the holding company of the Kentz engineering and construction group, received notification on 25 September 2009 from Danache Holdings Limited ("Danache") that on 18 September 2009, it reduced its shareholding by 803,643 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") (the "Disposal").

Following the Disposal, Danache holds 12,535,570 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 10.77 per cent of the Company's voting rights.

Danache was established prior to the Company's IPO as part of a management incentivisation arrangement on behalf of 83 members of the Company's senior management (excluding the directors, other than Ed Power, Chief Financial Officer of the Company). For the avoidance of doubt, Ed Power elected to retain his share entitlement within Danache and therefore did not receive any proceeds from the Disposal.

Pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreements, as detailed in the AIM Admission Document, Danache is able to, inter alia, distribute up to 66.67 per cent. of the value of its Ordinary Shares if a profit target is achieved, which has now been achieved. As a result, 8,892,807 Ordinary Shares are now free to be distributed, of which only 9.04% of this number have been disposed of, as described above.
