          Rejection of Approach from Rok property solutions plc (Rok)

The board of GallifordTry plc (GallifordTry) notes the recent press article
linking Rok and GallifordTry.

The board of GallifordTry confirms that it received an indicative proposal from
Rok to acquire GallifordTry at a price of 51p per share, satisfied as to GBP25
million in new Rok shares and the balance in cash.  Rok indicated it would be
prepared to offer an underwritten cash alternative for the share portion of the
consideration.  Rok's proposal was subject to a number of material
pre-conditions including due diligence and financing.


The board does not believe that this proposal could be recommended as it
significantly undervalues GallifordTry.  Accordingly the proposal has been
rejected.
