The Carphone Warehouse Group PLC ('Company') 


Transaction in Own Shares

The Company received notification on Wednesday 18th June 2008 that the Company's Employee Share Ownership Trust ('EBT') has acquired 2,486,464 ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 216.8936 pence per share. 

The EBT has acquired these shares for the purpose of employee share schemes and other bonus arrangements satisfied by shares. 

Executive directors of the Company are classed as being discretionary beneficiaries of the EBT and are consequently considered to be interested in such shares held by the EBT. However, such shares are not presently being awarded by the EBT under any scheme or otherwise to any beneficiary and any future specific award to any specific executive director would be announced separately at the time of such award.

Following this transaction, the EBT is interested in 15,229,222 shares in the Company, representing approximately 1.7% of the issued share capital of the Company.
