                    NOTICE OF SUSPENSION OF CONVERSION RIGHT


        To the holders of the NLG 345,000,000 4.625 per cent convertible
    subordinated bonds 1997 due 2007 guaranteed by Corus Group plc (ISIN: NL
                           0000183184) (the "Bonds")

  NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN by the Company that the Conversion Right (as defined
  in the Trust Deed) is suspended as of 26 March, 2007 on the basis described
                                     below.

   On Wednesday 7 March, 2007, a meeting of the holders of the Bonds was held
in which a resolution was passed to amend the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds
   and the trust deed relating to the Bonds (the "Trust Deed"). Following the
  meeting, the Trust Deed was amended in accordance with that resolution. The
 amended Trust Deed provides, in Article 4 (1A), that if the Scheme (as defined
  in the Trust Deed) has not been withdrawn, the Company may, up to seven days
prior to the expected Effective Date (as defined in the Trust Deed), notify the
holders of the Bonds that the Conversion Right is suspended. The Scheme has not
been withdrawn and this notice is given under Article 4 (1A) of the Trust Deed.

       If the Effective Date occurs within seven days of this notice, the
 suspension shall become permanent. If the Effective Date does not occur within
      seven days of this notice, the Conversion Right shall be reinstated.

   The Effective Date is expected to occur on 2 April 2007. If the Effective
    Date occurs on that date, the Bonds will be redeemed on 4 April 2007 in
 accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed whereby the Early Redemption Price
 (as defined in the Trust Deed) will be calculated per 2 April 2007. The final
 trading day of the Bonds will then be 29 March 2007 and the delisting of Bonds
                        will take place on 4 April 2007.
