During August 2011 the following movements have taken place in respect of awards made under the Halfords Group Performance Share Plan 2005.

	August 2011 Grant
David Wild	254,089

For awards made under the Halfords Group Performance Share Plan 2005 from 2009 onwards the Committee, in making such option awards, and using its discretion, specified that subject to the rules of the PSP the Company would procure the transfer to the Awardholder such additional number of award shares as could have been acquired by the reinvestment of dividends paid on the original award shares. Such additional award shares to vest in the same proportion as the original award shares.

The maximum number of shares to be awarded in this way is to be determined on the basis that each such dividend was reinvested on the date of payment of that dividend at a price per share equal to the market value of a share on that day. The total number of shares awarded on the basis of dividends paid in 2011 is;

	Dividend Reinvestment Grant
