Acquisition of shares under the terms of the London Stock Exchange 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan

On 17 June 2008 London Stock Exchange Group plc was notified that on that date John Wallace purchased 3,154 ordinary shares of 6 79/86 pence each in the Company (Shares).  John Wallace is participating in the London Stock Exchange Long Term Incentive Plan 2004 (the LTIP) whereby an employee undertakes to use a percentage of their bonus to purchase Shares in the Company (Invested Shares) and, in return, is granted a matching award of Shares.  

In return for John Wallace purchasing Invested Shares the Company has granted him matching awards over such number of Shares that equals two times the value of Shares that he could have bought had the investment of his bonus been made on a pre-tax basis (the Matching Award).

To be eligible to receive the Matching Award, directors and senior executives must hold their Invested Shares and remain in employment for a period of three years from the date of grant of the Matching Award. The actual number of Shares transferred to a director or senior executive on the vesting of the Matching Award will depend on the extent to which a corporate performance target is satisfied over the three-year vesting period.  

Full details of the LTIP are provided in the report on directors' remuneration in the London Stock Exchange Group plc 2008 Annual Report.
