               DIRECTORS'/PDMRs INTERESTS IN SHARES - AMENDMENT


Future plc (the 'Company'), the international special-interest media group,
announces that it received notification in accordance with DTR 3.1.2 R on 15
January 2008 from Abacus Corporate Trustee Limited, the Trustee of the Company's
Employee Benefit Trust (the 'Trust'), of a change in its holding of the
Company's ordinary shares of 1p each.

On 9 January 2008, the Trust transferred to individuals (including the executive
Directors referred to below) a total of 533,291 shares, representing 0.16% of
the issued share capital of the Company, being the balance of shares which had
vested, less the number of shares sold to meet the tax and NI liability arising
on the vesting of such shares.

In order to meet the tax and NI liability arising on the vesting, on 9 January
2008, the Trust sold 317,156 shares in the Company (at a gross average price of
35.5p per share), representing 0.09% of the issued share capital of the Company.

As a result of the vesting of one-third of her Restricted Stock Award on 31
December 2007, Stevie Spring's beneficial interest in shares of the Company has
increased by 155,796 (comprising the vesting of 248,447 of her Restricted Stock
Award shares less the sale of 92,651 of those shares at a price of 35.5p per
share on 9 January 2008 by the Trust in order to meet the tax liability arising
on the vesting of the Award). Stevie Spring has undertaken not, without the
consent of the board of the Company, to dispose of any shares that vest under
the Restricted Stock Award (other than any sold to pay the tax and NI liability
that arises on vesting) while she remains employed with the Company. Stevie
Spring's total beneficial interest in shares is 439,397 shares, which represents
0.13% of the Company's issued share capital.

As a result of the vesting of one-third of his Restricted Stock Award on 31
December 2007, John Bowman's beneficial interest in shares of the Company has

Award shares less the sale of 37,292 of those shares at a price of 35.5p per
share on 9 January 2008 by the Trust in order to meet the tax liability arising
on the vesting of the Award). John Bowman has undertaken not, without the
consent of the board of the Company, to dispose of any shares that vest under
the Restricted Stock Award (other than any sold to pay the tax and NI liability
that arises on vesting) while he remains employed with the Company. John
Bowman's total beneficial interest in shares is 752,309 shares, which represents
0.23% of the Company's issued share capital.
