GlaxoSmithKline PLC
8 March 2002



                              Directors' Interests



I give below details of changes in directors' interests in the Ordinary Shares
of GlaxoSmithKline plc.

8 March 2002                  Abacus (GW) Trustees Limited, as trustee of The 
                              Glaxo Wellcome Employee Trust ("the Trust"), 
                              transferred 56,090 Ordinary Shares in the Company 
                              to participants of the Glaxo Wellcome 1999 Share 
                              Option Plan and the Glaxo Wellcome International
                              Share Option Scheme.




The Company was advised of this transaction on 8 March 2002.




The Trust is a discretionary trust of which all employees or former employees of
GlaxoSmithKline Services plc (formerly Glaxo Wellcome plc) and its subsidiaries
are potential beneficiaries. Two of the Company's directors, Sir Richard Sykes
and John Coombe are therefore interested in the shares held in the Trust from
time to time in the same way as other employees or former employees of
GlaxoSmithKline Services plc and its subsidiaries.
