Corus Group plc
12 December 2006

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN, INTO OR
FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO THE SAME WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE
RELEVANT LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION

Corus Group plc ("Corus" or the "Company")

Competing offers for Corus Group plc
Proposed adjournment of reconvened EGM and Court Meeting

On 20 October 2006, the boards of Corus, Tata Steel and Tata Steel UK announced
that they had reached agreement on the terms of the acquisition of the entire
issued and to be issued share capital of Corus at a price of 455 pence in cash
per Corus Share. The Tata Acquisition would be made by Tata Steel UK and
implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement (the "Tata Scheme"). On 10
November, Corus posted a circular (the "Circular") to Corus Shareholders,
containing, inter alia, an explanation of the terms of the Tata Acquisition.
Notice of each of the Court Meeting and the EGM convened for 4 December 2006 to
consider the Tata Scheme was also given to Corus Shareholders in the Circular.

On 17 November 2006, Companhia Siderurgica Nacional ("CSN") approached Corus
regarding a proposal to make a cash offer for Corus at a price of 475 pence per
Corus Share. The CSN proposal, which did not amount to a firm intention to make
an offer, was subject to certain pre-conditions.

In light of the approach from CSN regarding a possible offer, the Corus Board
decided that it was in the best interests of Corus Shareholders to allow CSN
additional time to satisfy its pre-conditions and to determine whether it would
put forward a formal offer. The Corus Board therefore proposed adjournment
resolutions to shareholders at the EGM and the Court Meeting convened for 4
December 2006 in relation to the Tata Scheme. Those resolutions were approved by
shareholders and as a result the meetings were adjourned until 20 December 2006.

Since 4 December, two further offers have been made to acquire the Company:

o   On 10 December 2006, Tata Steel UK increased its offer price to 500 pence in
    cash per Corus Share (the "Revised Tata Acquisition"). Other than the
    increased offer price, the Revised Tata Acquisition will be subject to the
    same terms and conditions as set out in the Circular.

o   On 11 December 2006, CSN announced a formal offer for the Company at an
    offer price of 515 pence per Corus Share (the "CSN Acquisition"). The CSN
    Acquisition would also be implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement and
    is subject to a pre-condition that either Corus Shareholders reject the Tata
    Scheme or the Tata Scheme is otherwise withdrawn by Corus or lapses. The
    pre-condition is set out in full in Part I of Appendix I of CSN's
    announcement. In the event that the pre-condition is satisfied or waived, a
    scheme document (the "CSN Scheme Document") will be posted within 28 days
    thereof. CSN will also be posting an information document to Corus
    shareholders shortly setting out details of the CSN Acquisition and certain
    information relating to the CSN group.

In light of this, the Corus Board intends to propose resolutions to shareholders
at each of the reconvened EGM and the Court Meeting to be held on 20 December
2006 to adjourn those meetings and will announce a proposed date for those
adjourned meetings in due course.



                                       2


Further, the Corus Directors, who have been advised by Credit Suisse, JPMorgan
Cazenove and HSBC intend, assuming that the current circumstances are prevailing
at the time of the reconvened EGM and the Court Meeting:

o   to recommend that Corus Shareholders vote in favour of any such adjournment
    resolutions; and

o   to exercise their discretion under any instrument appointing any of them as
    proxy for a Corus Shareholder at the reconvened EGM or Court Meeting so as
    to vote in favour of any such adjournment resolutions.

If circumstances change between the time of this announcement and the times of
the reconvened EGM and Court Meeting, the Board will reconsider its current
intention to propose and recommend that shareholders vote in favour of
adjournment resolutions and the Corus Directors will reconsider their intention
as to how to vote such proxies as they may hold for Corus Shareholders thereon.
In this connection, Corus will make further announcements as appropriate.

Corus Shareholders who wish the discretion afforded by any existing instrument
of proxy to remain in place should take no action. Unrevoked proxies will also
remain valid at any adjournment of the reconvened Court Meeting or the EGM.

Any Corus Shareholder who no longer wishes any existing instrument appointing a
Corus Director (or any other person) as their proxy to remain in place should
(a) attend and vote at the reconvened Court Meeting and/or EGM in person, in
which case their proxy will not be capable of exercising their votes, (b) revoke
their existing proxy appointment and/or appoint a different person as their
proxy with specific instructions on how to vote on any resolutions, or (c)
provide different instructions to their existing proxy.

Corus Shareholders who have not yet appointed a proxy but who wish to vote at
the reconvened Court Meeting and/or the EGM should either (a) attend and vote at
the reconvened Court Meeting or EGM in person, or (b) appoint a proxy. Any proxy
appointing a Corus Director will be voted as described above on any adjournment
resolution. To be valid any proxies appointed to vote at the reconvened Court
Meeting and/or EGM must be returned, whether by post or by hand, so as to arrive
at the offices of the Company's Registrars, Lloyds TSB Registrars at least 48
hours prior to the time fixed for the relevant meeting. Therefore, in the case
of the reconvened Court Meeting, forms of proxy must be so returned by 10.00
a.m. on 18 December 2006. In the case of the reconvened EGM, forms of proxy must
be so returned by 10.15 a.m. on 18 December 2006. Forms of proxy for the
reconvened Court Meeting may also be handed to the Chairman of the Court Meeting
or to representatives of Lloyds TSB Registrars before the start of the Court
Meeting and will still be valid.

ADS Holders who wish any existing Voting Instruction Card to remain in place
should take no action. Unrevoked ADS Voting Instruction Cards will be valid at
the reconvened Court Meeting and EGM and at any adjournment of such reconvened
meetings. ADS Holders who have already returned a Voting Instruction Card to the
Bank of New York and who wish to revoke those instructions or to provide
different instructions should contact, in the case of registered ADS Holders,
the Bank of New York, or, in the case of ADS Holders who hold their Corus ADSs
indirectly, their bank, broker, financial institution or share plan
administrator through which they hold their Corus ADSs. ADS Holders who have not
yet returned a Voting Instruction Card in accordance with the instructions set
out in the Circular but who wish to do so in respect of the reconvened Court
Meeting and/or EGM should complete a Voting Instruction Card and return it to
the Bank of New York by 5.00 p.m. New York time on 13 December 2006 in
accordance with the instructions set out in the Circular.

Any holders of interests in Corus Shares held via Euroclear Nederland who have
validly given voting instructions or instructions to attend the Court Meeting or
the EGM in person and who wish such instructions to remain in place should take
no action. Any such unrevoked



                                       3


instructions will remain valid at the reconvened Court Meeting and EGM to be
held on 20 December 2006 and at any adjournment of such reconvened meetings. Any
holder of interests in Corus Shares held via Euroclear Nederland who no longer
wishes such instructions to remain in place should contact the Dutch Paying
Agent before 5.00 p.m. Amsterdam time on 13 December. Any holders of interests
in Corus Shares held via Euroclear Nederland who have not yet returned a Dutch
Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions set out in the Circular but
who wish to do so in respect of the reconvened Court Meeting and/or EGM should
complete and return a Dutch Form of Proxy to the Dutch Paying Agent by 5.00 p.m.
Amsterdam time on 13 December 2006 in accordance with the instructions set out
in the Circular.

Except where the context requires otherwise, capitalised terms used in this
announcement have the meaning given to them in the Circular.

This announcement includes 'forward looking statements' under the United States

that typically contain words such as 'will', 'may', 'should', 'continue',
'aims', 'believes', 'expects', 'estimates' 'intends', 'anticipates', 'projects',
'plans' or similar expressions. By their nature, forward-looking statements
involve known or unknown risks and uncertainties because they relate to events
and depend on circumstances that all occur in the future. Actual results may
differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements
depending on a number of factors. Many of these risks and uncertainties relate
to factors that are beyond the companies' abilities to control or estimate

participants. The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are
made as of the date hereof and Corus assumes no obligation and does not intend

Dealing Disclosure Requirements

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code (the 'Code'), if any
person is, or becomes, 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of
any class of 'relevant securities' of Corus, all 'dealings' in any 'relevant
securities' of that company (including by means of an option in respect of, or a
derivative referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must be publicly
disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the London business day
following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue
until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to
acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the 'offer period'
otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or
understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an 'interest' in 'relevant
securities' of Corus, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose
of Rule 8.3.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all 'dealings' in 'relevant
securities' of Corus by Tata Steel, CSN or Corus, or by any of their respective
'associates', must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the
London business day following the date of the relevant transaction.

A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose 'relevant
securities' 'dealings' should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, van be found on the Takeover Panel's website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.

'Interests in securities' arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an 'interest' by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks in the preceding paragraphs are defined in the Code,
which can also be found on the Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to
whether or not you are required to disclose a 'dealing' under Rule 8, you should
consult the Panel.
