Avon Rubber p.l.c ("the Company")

Announcement of transaction in ordinary shares of £1 each (the "Shares")

Following approval of the Company's Performance Share Plan 2010 at the annual general meeting on 2 March 2010, the Company announces that on 15 March 2010 joint ownership awards, nil cost options and conditional awards of shares ("PSP Awards") were granted under the 2010 Plan to Directors of the Company and persons discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs"), as listed below.

The performance period applicable to the PSP Awards is 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2012.

The number of shares placed under award and the start price against which performance of the share price will be measured over the 3 year performance period is the average price of the Company's shares over the 5 days following announcement of the Company's annual results for the year ended 30 September 2009, which was 95.6 pence. This reflects a 17.3% premium over the Company's closing share price of 81.5p for the dealing day falling immediately prior to 15 March.
