The independent Trustee of the Quintain Estates and Development PLC Employee
Benefit Trust ('the Trustee') notified the Company on 8 June 2005 that it had,
on 7 and 8 June 2005, purchased a total of 200,000 ordinary shares of 25p each
in the Company at a market price of £5.275 per share.


Following this transaction, the Trustee holds a total of 500,000 ordinary
shares.


These shares will be held by the Trustees against the awards made to directors
in September 2003 under the Executive Directors' Performance Share Plan, of
which Adrian Wyatt and Nicholas Shattock are potential beneficiaries and are
therefore treated as having an interest.
