Notes:



The Lookers Key Executive Incentive Performance Plan was adopted by Lookers
shareholders at the 2003 annual general meeting.  It enables executive directors
and certain senior executives to earn cash bonuses dependent upon the growth in
earnings per share over a three year performance period, the first of which
ended on 31 December 2005.  Where such bonuses are paid, participants are
required by the rules of the Plan to invest a minimum of 20% of their net bonus
payment in Lookers shares, and may elect to invest up to a further 30% of their
net bonus payment in Lookers shares.  Each participant has elected to invest the
maximum of 50% of his net bonus payment in Lookers shares.



The Lookers Matching Share Plan was adopted by Lookers shareholders at the 2005
annual general meeting.  It  provides for the grant of options to subscribe for
Lookers shares to those participants who have acquired Lookers shares in
accordance with the rules of the Key Executive Incentive Performance Plan,
initially on the basis of two new shares for every share acquired.  The exercise
price for these options is the nominal value of 25p per share, and, subject to
the achievement of further performance conditions, the options will become
exercisable three years after the date of grant.  The proportion of options
exercisable will vary between nil and 100% dependent on the achievement of
further growth in earnings per share over that three year period.  In accordance
with the rules of the Plan, and with the approval of the remuneration committee,
options were granted to certain senior executives of the Company on 24 March
2006 over a total of 180,460 ordinary shares.
