12 January 2006

Burberry Group plc ('the Company') announces the following changes in the
interests of the directors of the Company listed in the table below ('the 
Table').  Each of the directors has ceased to be interested in the number of
preference shares of 0.05p each in the capital of the Company ('Burberry
Preference shares') set out alongside their name in the second column of the
table.

These changes have arisen as a result of the repurchase by the Company of all of
the Burberry Preference Shares in issue (being 1,600,000,000) from The Law
Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. on 12 January 2006 in London for £1 in
aggregate ('the Repurchase').  The Repurchase was made in connection with the
demerger of the GUS plc group's interest in the Company and pursuant to a
repurchase contract dated 12 December 2005 (which was approved by the members of
the Company at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on the same day).
