NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF DIRECTORS AND PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL
RESPONSIBILITIES

We wish to notify the following, in accordance with Rules 3.1.4(1)(a) and 3.1.4
(1)(b) of the Disclosure Rules.

1.   The Company has granted conditional rollover awards in respect of the 
     number of ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company set out in
     column (2) of the table below to the directors and Persons Discharging
     Managerial Responsibilities ('PDMRs') set out in that table under the 
     Company's Performance Share Plan ('PSP').  The conditional awards were 
     all made on 18 April 2007 and replace portions of the 2005 and 2006 RHM 
     performance share plan awards which lapsed due to the pro-rating of awards 
     as a result of the acquisition of RHM plc by Premier Foods plc.  The 
     vesting of the PSP awards is subject to performance conditions based upon
     total shareholder return as measured over a three-year period from 2005 
     and 2006 respectively, with an earnings per share underpin, in the same 
     form as for 2005 and 2006 awards under the Company's Long-Term Incentive 
     Plan ('LTIP').  Subject to performance conditions, awards will vest on 
     22 July 2008 (in respect of 2005 replacement awards) and 7 July 2009 (in 
     respect of 2006 replacement awards).  Awards will be satisfied by the 
     transfer of existing shares.

2.   On 18 April 2007 the nil cost options set out in column (3) of the table 
     below were granted by the trustee of the Premier Foods plc Employee Benefit 
     Trust to the directors set out in that table under the Company's Deferred 
     Bonus Plan.  Under the Deferred Bonus Plan participants are required to 
     defer 50% of their gross annual bonus into shares.  The options, over 
     ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company, are to be satisfied by the
     transfer of existing shares and are exercisable between 18 April 2010 and 
     18 April 2017.  The options are not subject to performance conditions.

Following the granting of these options and conditional awards, the total number
of ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company over which the directors and PDMRs
concerned hold options/awards is set out in column (4) of the table below.
