Result of AGM - Resolution Passed

GALLIFORD PLC 29 October 1999 At the Annual General Meeting of the company held today a special resolution was passed empowering the company to make market purchases of its own shares within the meaning of Section 163 of the Companies Act 1985. The board has no present intention of exercising such authority and would only do so when satisfied it is in the best interests of the company and that the purchase would increase the earnings per share. The maximum number of shares which could be purchased is 10,996,734 representing 10% of the company's issued share capital and the maximum price that may be paid will be limited to no more than 5% above the average of the middle market quotations of the company's shares as derived from the Daily Official List of the London Stock Exchange for the five business days prior to purchase.
