On 8 May 2003 the Company was notified by Bedell Cristin Trustees Limited, the
Trustees of the Scottish and Southern Energy Deferred Bonus Plan ('the Plan') of
changes in directors' interests in the Company's ordinary shares ('the Shares').
The Trustees have advised that there was an error in their original

arising from the transaction on that date.

disclosed as sold.
