DIRECTOR/PDMR SHAREHOLDING - Purchase of ordinary shares in QinetiQ

Group plc ("Shares" and the "Company" respectively) by Directors of the Company under its Share Incentive Plan ("SIP").

The SIP trustee, Equiniti Share Plan Trustees Limited (the "Trustee"), notified the Company on 10 January 2012 that the following Directors of the Company acquired Shares under the SIP on 9 January 2012 held through the Trustee:

Director	Number of Shares   acquired	Aggregate number of Shares held beneficially following acquisition (across all accounts)

* The Number of Shares acquired includes 94 Partnership Shares acquired at £1.3287 and 31 Matching Shares acquired at £1.3287.  Both partnership and matching elements are registered in the name of the Trustee.

The SIP operates as follows:

Each month the Trustee uses participants' contributions (which may not exceed £125 per participant per month) to purchase shares in the market.  These shares are called "Partnership Shares".

At the same time the Company allots to participants via the Trustee or instructs the Trustee to purchase in the market one "Matching Share" for every three Partnership Shares purchased that month.

Dividends paid by the Company to the Trustee in respect of the Partnership and Matching Shares are used by the Trustee to purchase shares in the market.  These shares are called "Dividend Shares".
