                              Thalassa Holdings Ltd 
                        ("the Company", Ticker THAL.L ) 
 
              Update on investment in Renewable Power & Light plc 
                              ("RPL", Ticker RPL.L) 
 
Following the announcement on 19 January 2010 regarding the acquisition of 29.8% 
of the outstanding shares of RPL by the Company and CityPoint Holdings Ltd 
("CPH") and with reference to RPL's circular posted on 27 January 2010 in which 
RPL is seeking, among other things, shareholders approval for the sale of its US 
subsidiary, the Boards of the Company and CPH wish to clarify their voting 
intentions. 
 
The Company and CPH confirm that they have instructed their proxy to vote 
AGAINST ALL proposed resolutions in respect of, in aggregate, 26,487,430 
Ordinary Shares held by them at the General Meeting scheduled for 15 February 
2010 and as set out in the Notice of Meeting dated 27 January 2010. 
 
As a direct result of lack of information in the circular from RPL to all 
shareholders, the Company and CPH did not believe they were able to make a 
properly informed decision on the proposed resolutions based on the information 
provided in RPL's circular.  Consequently, the Company and CPH have signed a 
non-disclosure agreement with RPL on 1 February 2010 under the terms of which 
RPL has disclosed certain financial information relating to the NAV of RPL pre 
and post the proposed disposal of RPL's US subsidiary.  The Boards of the 
Company and of CPH therefore believed it would be in the best interest of all 
the shareholders of RPL to be in receipt of the same relevant information. 
 
Commenting, Duncan Soukup, Chairman of the Company and CPH stated: 
 
"We have voted AGAINST the disposal of RPL's US subsidiary as it will reduce the 
unaudited cash position of RPL of $5 million, as stated in its announcement of 
today, by $1.513 million, which represents 30% of RPL's unaudited cash position, 
to $3.487 million (equivalent to approximately 2.52 pence per Ordinary Share). 
As the holders of 29.8% of the equity of RPL it is our opinion that there is 
more potential value in keeping RPL running than there is in liquidating assets 
in this way and distributing them to shareholders." 
 
"It is also therefore our intention to vote against any further distribution of 
cash to shareholders. Given that any such distribution would require a special 
resolution (requiring a 75% majority) the Company and CPH have the ability to 
veto any such proposal." 
 
 "We will also be seeking Board representation to formulate, with current or new 
Board members, a revised strategy to create and grow shareholder value."
