The executive directors of Legal & General Group Plc ('Group') participate in
the PSP, a long-term incentive arrangement for executive directors and senior
managers. The PSP is described in detail in the 2002 Report and Accounts.

which matured on 11 April 2003. The benefit of these performance shares
generates an immediate tax charge for the individual.

satisfaction of the related tax charges, the executive directors' resultant
