NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF DIRECTORS, PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY OR CONNECTED PERSONS

Notification made in accordance with Disclosure Rule 3.1.4R(1)(a) of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

With reference to an announcement made on 28 March 2011, Mr J Bowles, a person discharging managerial responsibilities, was granted an award of 7,288 British American Tobacco p.l.c. 25p ordinary shares (the "Shares") under the Deferred Share Bonus Scheme at an award price of 2,377 pence per Share (the "Original Award").  The Company has since been advised that the Original Award granted to Mr Bowles was calculated incorrectly.  As a consequence, on 9 June 2011, the Original Award was amended by awarding a further 2,219 Shares to Mr Bowles at 2,377 pence per Share, being the same price as the Original Award, resulting in a total Deferred Share Bonus Scheme award for 2011 of 9,507 Shares.

Following this notification, Mr Bowles has a total beneficial and family interest in 37,053 Shares (including 20,112 Deferred Shares).
