The Trustee of the Trust, established under a Trust Deed dated 4 October 1996,
on 17 March 2005 agreed to transfer 368,194 Ordinary shares in The Rank Group
Plc ('Rank') to certain individuals participating in the Rank Group 2000 Long
Term Incentive Plan ('the Plan') and sold a further 253,849 Ordinary shares in
Rank to meet certain withholding tax liabilities arising out of such transfer.

As the Trust is a discretionary trust, all executive Directors of Rank are
deemed to be interested in the shares held by the Trust. We therefore advise you
that the executive Directors of the Company being members of the class of
potential beneficiaries, are now interested in a total of 202,852 Ordinary
shares of 10 pence each in the Company held by the Trustee.
