For immediate release

The Evolution Group Plc

The Evolution Group Plc (the "Company") has today received notification from
Evolution EBT Limited as Trustee of The Evolution Group Plc Employees' Share
Trust ("the Trust") (a discretionary trust of which all employees of
The Evolution Group Plc and its subsidiaries are beneficiaries), that 
(i)  on 13 January 2006 230,179 Ordinary 1p Shares ("Shares"); and 
(ii) on 16 January 2006 100,000 Shares, were either transferred to or sold on 
behalf of employees who had exercised options over Shares held in the Trust.

None of the Shares referred to above was transferred to or sold on behalf of 
any of the executive directors (the "Directors") of the Company. However, each 
of the Directors is a member of the class of discretionary beneficiaries of 
the Trust and is consequently taken to have an interest in all the Shares held 
in the Trust. As a consequence of the vesting of the aforementioned Shares to 
employees other than the Directors, the Directors have ceased to be interested 
in those Shares.

The Company also announces that on 16 January 2006, Evolution EBT Limited, 
completed a purchase of 250,000 Shares in the Company at an average price of 
£1.4499 per share.

The Executive Directors are deemed for Companies Act purposes to be interested 
in all Shares held by the Trust.

The Trust now holds a total of 7,993,852 Shares representing approximately 
3.545% of the Company's issued share capital.
