AMENDED TRANSACTION IN OWN SHARES - VOTING RIGHTS AND CAPITAL

This replaces the previous announcement released on Monday 15 August 2011 Reference number 3656M due to the number of shares being incorrect.

BT Group plc announces that it has today transferred in connection with its employee share plans 3,115,084 ordinary shares at a minimum price of 179 pence per share. The transferred shares were all formerly held as treasury shares.

BT Group plc's capital consists of 8,151,227,029 ordinary shares with voting rights. Following the above transfer, BT Group plc holds 377,724,931 ordinary shares as treasury shares.  Therefore, the total number of voting rights in BT Group plc is 7,773,502,098

The above figure (7,773,502,098) may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, BT Group plc under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
