(a)  Capita IRG Trustees Limited, as trustee of the Admiral Group plc
     Approved Share Incentive Plan ('SIP'), subscribed for 581,000 ordinary

     share, such shares to be held in the SIP trust for the purposes of the
     SIP; and

     Group plc Employee Benefit Trust ('EBT'), subscribed for 685,000 ordinary
     shares in the Company at the nominal value of 0.1 pence per ordinary share,
     such shares to be held in the EBT for the purposes of the Company's

The executive directors and persons exercising managerial responsibility of the
