Share interests of directors and PDMRs

Directors' and PDMRs' share interests

In 2005 Bodycote plc (`the Company') adopted the Short Term Stock Bonus Plan
(STSBP'). Awards were made in March 2006 shortly after the remuneration
committee had assessed the Company's total shareholder return performance for
2005 and the vesting of the awards was also contingent on the participants
continuing in service with the Company for a three year period after the award
had been made.

The awards have now vested in full for those participants who remained employed
by the Company during the vesting period. The Company therefore announces the
following transactions in relation to Executive Directors and PDMRs.
