Galliford Try announces that at the Extraordinary General Meeting, which took
place earlier today, the resolutions proposed to shareholders approving the
acquisition of Linden Holdings PLC ('Linden') and certain matters relating to
the Placing and Open Offer of 100,230,056 New Ordinary Shares at 150 pence per
share (as set out in the notice of EGM contained in the Prospectus published by
the Company dated 8 February 2007) were duly passed.

Completion of the Placing and Open Offer and the acquisition of Linden remain
conditional on Admission of the New Ordinary Shares becoming effective and is
expected to take place on 6 March 2007.

Scaling back of excess applications under the Open Offer

As announced on Friday 2 March 2007, valid applications from Shareholders under
the Open Offer, including excess applications, have been received for 65,630,822
shares representing 133 per cent of the 49,350,302 Open Offer Shares
available under the Open Offer.

Of the 65,630,822 shares applied for 23,535,876 shares represent excess 
applications from shareholders in excess of their pro-rata entitlement.  
The first 50,000 shares of all excess applications will be honoured in full 
such that Shareholders making excess applications for 50,000 shares or less 
will receive their excess application in full.  Shareholders making excess 
applications for more than 50,000 shares will receive 50,000 shares plus 
approximately 19.9 per cent. of the remainder of their excess application.

Pro-rata entitlements under the Open Offer will be satisfied in full.


The definitions used in this announcement shall have the same meaning given to 
them in the Prospectus dated 8 February 2007.
