MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY'S OWN ACCOUNT; OPERATION OF THE COMPANY'S SHARE
INCENTIVE PLANS.
GRANTS UNDER GALIFORM PLC CO-INVESTMENT PLAN 2007 (the 'Plan').
In compliance with Disclosure and Transparency Rule ('DTR') 3.1.4, the Company
advises that awards were granted today by the trustee of the Plan to certain
executive directors and senior executives under the Plan, which was adopted by
the Company at an Extraordinary General Meeting held yesterday.
Under the Plan, each participant is permitted to 'invest' a limited amount of
shares ('Invested Shares') on an annual basis for the purposes of the Plan.
The shares invested for 2008 and matching awards are as follows:
Executive Directors Shares to be Matching Award

Matthew Ingle 650,000 3,250,000
Gerard Hughes 520,000 2,600,000
Mark Robson 520,000 2,600,000

* Disclosure of transactions on their own account is required for these
executives, being persons discharging managerial responsibilities, for the
purposes of the DTR 3.1.4 of the UKLA.
In the first year of the Plan (covering the performance period ending in
December 2010), each Invested Share will be matched by an award of up to three
matching shares subject to profit before tax (PBT) targets on a sliding scale. A
further match of up to two shares will be made for achieving upper quartile
Total Shareholder Return (TSR), measured against the FTSE 250 Index (excluding
investment trusts). PBT will be defined for continuing operations before
exceptional items as reported in the statutory accounts. The maximum PBT match
of 3:1 will be earned for achieving 2010 PBT of £135 million. 25 percent of the
maximum match (i.e. 0.75:1) will be earned for achieving 2010 PBT of £110
million. The awards will vest on a sliding scale between these two points.
