Director/PDMR Shareholding

Tate & Lyle PLC (the 'Company') was informed yesterday that 21,428 ordinary
shares of 25 pence each in the capital of the Company were released under the
Company's Deferred Bonus Share Plan ('DBSP') to Iain Ferguson, an Executive
Director of the Company, on 29 July 2008. No consideration was paid for the
acquisition of these shares. 8,817 shares were disposed of at 382.75 pence per
share on the London Stock Exchange to pay for tax and sale costs. The remaining
shares have been retained. Mr Ferguson now has an interest in 216,703 ordinary
25p shares in the Company.

The DBSP is a performance based share plan under which certain senior executives
have the opportunity to defer part of their annual cash bonus, invest the amount
deferred in the Company's shares and receive awards of matching shares
('Matching Shares'). The number of Matching Shares released is subject to the
satisfaction of employment conditions and a performance condition over the
relevant performance period which in this case was the period from 1 April 2005
to 31 March 2008.

This notification is made in accordance with DTR 3.1.4R(1)(a) of the FSA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
