Encorium Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENCO), a leader in the design, development, and management of complex clinical trials and patient registries for many of the world's leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, today announced that its Board of Directors has set October 5, 2007 as the date for its 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting”) for stockholders of record as of August 28, 2007. In accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act”) and other applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission”), we are hereby notifying our stockholders that August 6, 2007 will be the deadline for submitting stockholder proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement for the Meeting, which we believe is a reasonable time before we will begin the printing and mailing of our proxy materials for the Meeting. All stockholder proposals must be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy for the Meeting. A stockholder of the Company may wish to have a proposal presented at the Meeting, but not to have such proposal included in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the Meeting. If notice of any such proposal is not received by the Company by August 6, 2007, which we believe is a reasonable time before we will begin the printing and mailing of our proxy materials for the Meeting, then such proposal shall be deemed "untimely” for purposes of Rule 14a-4(c) promulgated under the 1934 Act and, therefore, the individuals named in the proxies solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the Meeting will have the right to exercise discretionary voting authority as to such proposal. The foregoing deadlines are later than the deadlines disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Commission on September 15, 2006. Stockholder proposals should be addressed to the Corporate Secretary of Encorium Group, Inc. at our principal executive offices located One Glenhardie Corporate Center, Suite 100, 1275 Drummers Lane, Wayne, PA 19087. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.
