Molins  PLC announces that, to retain the flexibility to make purchases  of  its
own  ordinary  shares  of  25p,  the Directors have  decided  to  seek  further
shareholder authority at an extraordinary general meeting to be held  on  Friday

up to approximately 15% of the current issued ordinary share capital. The notice
convening the Extraordinary General Meeting will be posted to shareholders on  2
October 2000.

To  date  the Directors have been granted four separate authorities to  purchase
and  cancel  a total of 16,482,609 ordinary shares of 25p each and  pursuant  to
those authorities the Company has purchased 10,323,399 shares. Each authority is
revoked  by  the  next  authority approved by the  Company's  shareholders.  The
current  authority was granted at the annual general meeting heLd  on  26  April
2000  when  the  Directors  were  authorised to purchase  and  cancel  4,838,671

capital). Pursuant to that authority the Company has purchased 3,910,000 shares.
