Rexam Pre-Close Trading Statement

During the second half of 2006, trading in our beverage can and glass operations has continued as anticipated at the half year, despite the challenging cost and raw material climate, which is expected to continue into 2007. In Plastic Packaging there has been no change since the Group's update issued on 3 November 2006. Accordingly, for the Group overall, Rexam anticipates that 2006 results will be broadly in line with its expectations.
