DANISCO FURTHER EXTENDS EXPIRATION DATE
FOR TENDER OFFER FOR GENENCOR

DH Subsidiary Inc., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Danisco A/S, today announced that it has extended the expiration date of its tender offer for all of the shares of common stock of Genencor International, Inc. (Nasdaq: GCOR) to Wednesday 6 April 2005 at 5:00 p.m. New York City time. The offer previously was to expire on Wednesday 23 March 2005 at 5:00 p.m. New York City time.

Danisco and its subsidiaries currently own approximately 41.6% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Genencor and have a contingent agreement with Eastman Chemical Company to buy its approximately 41.6% holding of Genencor common stock at USD15 per share. Danisco, through DH Subsidiary, is offering to purchase the balance of the outstanding shares of common stock of Genencor at USD19.25 per share in cash, subject to the terms and conditions set out in its Offer to Purchase dated 15 February 2005, the Supplement thereto dated 9 March 2005, and the related letter of transmittal.

Danisco has extended the expiration date of the tender offer to provide additional time, particularly in view of the upcoming Easter holiday period, for competition regulators in Germany to review these transactions.

Danisco has been advised by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Depositary for the tender offer, that as of the close of business on 21 March 2005, approximately 8,271,635 shares of Genencor common stock had been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer, and notices of guaranteed delivery had been submitted for an additional 163,281 shares. Together with the shares that Danisco already owns and the shares that Danisco will acquire from Eastman under their agreement, the tendered shares and noticed shares represent approximately 97.2% of the total outstanding shares.

As a consequence of the extension of the expiration date, holders of shares may tender or withdraw shares until 6 April 2005 at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, unless the offer is further extended.

Yours faithfully

Alf Duch-Pedersen
CEO
