Under the rules of the DSB, the Executive Directors and PDMRs are able to defer
up to 50% of their bonus (after the deduction of tax) relating to the financial
year ending 31 March 2006 to acquire ordinary shares of the Company ('Bonus
Shares'). The Bonus Shares were acquired on 5 June 2006 at a price per share of
£6.55.



In addition, the DSB provides for the Company to allocate one Matching Share,
subject to certain conditions, for every Bonus Share that would have been
acquired if the gross bonus deferred had been invested in shares. The release of
the Matching Share awards is subject to minimum earnings per share growth of the
company of RPI + 3% p.a. in respect of the three year period from the date of
grant and each participant retaining his or her Bonus Shares for three years (in
the case of the awards detailed here, until 5 June 2009). The Matching Shares
were allocated on 5 June 2006 at a price per share of £6.55.



PayPoint plc also announces that the Remuneration Committee has granted the
following conditional share awards to the Executive Directors and PDMRs under
the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan (the 'LTIP').



In accordance with the rules of the LTIP, LTIP awards were granted on the 5 June
2006 at a price of £6.45 per share (the closing price on the preceding dealing
day) as follows:


Director/PDMR               LTIP Award
Dominic Taylor              43,720
George Earle                31,007
Tim Watkin-Rees             25,891
Mark Astbury                9,922
Mike Igoe                   7,984
John Lee                    10,620
Thomas Vogt-Skard           8,139



The release of LTIP awards to participants under the Long Term Incentive Plan
are dependent upon the Total Shareholder Return performance of the Company
relative to its comparator group measured over a three year period from the date
of grant.

As a result of a structural review of the Company, Lorraine Buhagiar, Susan
Court, Jonathan Moon, Barry Skillett and David Steed are not considered to be
PDMRs and the Company will no longer issue any notices in respect of
transactions in Company shares conducted by any of one of them.
