Directors' share interests

David Landless, Finance Director, notified the company today that he has
exercised 16,042 share options granted in May 2000 at 231.42p. Mr Landless has
sold 13,949 shares at 298.5p on the same day sufficient only to cover the costs
(e.g. income tax) associated with exercising the options, which would otherwise
have expired on 2 May 2007.

Mr Landless' beneficial interest in Bodycote shares has therefore increased by
2,093 to 98,824 shares, which will be registered as follows:
