RM plc: Notification of Directors' Interests
RM notifies shareholders of changes in Executive Directors' interests following
the completion of the operation of the Group's long-term incentive plans for
financial year 2007.
As required by the Group's Deferred Bonus Plan ('DBP'), 40% of each Executive
Director's annual bonus has been used to purchase RM ordinary shares on the open
market. These shares will be held in trust on behalf of the Director for three
years. Shares were allocated at a price of 197p, the closing price on the day
the annual bonus was paid, and were awarded to Executive Directors on 14
December 2007.
In addition, on 14 December 2007, Tim Pearson sold 5,787 and Mike Greig sold
15,582 shares, at a price of 200p per share.
The Executive Directors' beneficial interests in RM plc are now as follows:

three Executive Directors have contributed investment shares to the CIP and have
been awarded potential matching shares in proportion. Some or all of these
matching shares may be released to the Executive Director on 14 December 2010,
should the demanding performance conditions set by the Group's Remuneration
Committee be met. Details of the performance conditions are included in the
Remuneration Report in the Group's Annual Report and Accounts.

The RM plc Co-Investment Plan was approved by shareholders in January 2003. It
is a long-term incentive plan, which is designed to align the interests of RM's
senior executives with those of shareholders. Under the Plan, participating
senior executives are required to hold shares in RM and, if certain performance
conditions are achieved over a period of time, they are granted additional
shares.
