Legal & General Performance Share Plan ('PSP')

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 2003 Report and Accounts.

Over the period from 10 April 2001 to 9 April 2004, the Total Shareholder Return
of the Group was the 49th best in the FTSE 100. Under the terms of the Plan, a
multiple of 1.1 was applied to the performance shares awarded in 2001, which
matured on 10 April 2004. The benefit of these performance shares generates an
immediate tax charge for the individual.

Following the approval of the Employee Share Ownership Trust Committee and the
satisfaction of the related tax charges, the executive directors' resultant
change in beneficial holdings of shares at 27 April 2004 are:
