Drax Group plc
('Drax' or the 'Company')
(Symbol: DRX)
TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS AND SHARE CAPITAL
In conformity with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules provision 5.6.1R, Drax advises the market of the following:
That, as at 31 October 2008, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 339,398,968 ordinary shares of 11 16/29 each with voting rights (the 'Voting Rights Figure').
As at 31 October 2008 and at the time of this announcement, no shares are held in treasury by the Company.
The increase in the issued share capital and Voting Rights Figure is due to allotting shares to satisfy the exercise of share options in accordance with the rules of the Company's Approved Savings Related Share Option Plan.
The Voting Rights Figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their voting rights interest, or a change to that interest, in the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
