Andrew Skinner                                                      28,922

Note:

The above awards were made under the Company's Annual Bonus Scheme. This
requires executive directors to defer 60% of their bonus earned and senior
management to defer 50% of their bonus earned into shares in the Deferred Share
Bonus Plan. For the purposes of this calculation the grant was made at a share
price of 706.6p.  The shares will be held for 3 years. There will be no match
paid against these deferred shares, although the value of dividends accrued,
either in the form of dividend equivalents or through a Dividend Reinvestment
Plan, will be paid at the end of the period.

The Annual Bonus Scheme is designed to focus and reward executives for specific
operational improvements which will drive the Company's performance. The targets
for the Company are determined annually by the Remuneration Committee and for
2006/07 incorporated a mixture of profit before tax, business unit and retail
sales and profit as appropriate. The targets for executive directors were
entirely based on the delivery of corporate profit before tax.

2. Performance Share Plan

It was confirmed on 6 June 2007 that on 5 June 2007 the following awards under
the Marks and Spencer Group Performance Share Plan were made to PDMRs of the

Steven Sharp                                   297,197


Senior management           Allocation of Performance Shares (see Note below)

Kate Bostock                                   169,827
Steven Esom                                    141,522
Guy Farrant                                    113,218
Carl Leaver                                    100,834
Graham Oakley                                   99,065
Andrew Skinner                                  79,252


Note:

Under the Performance Share Plan, awards are granted as a conditional
allocation, where a participant will receive free ordinary shares in the Company
on the vesting of an award subject to continuing employment. The vesting of an
award will depend on the Company's adjusted earnings per share ('EPS')
performance over a fixed three-year performance period starting on the first day
of the financial year in which the awards were granted.  For the purposes of
this calculation, the grant was made at a share price of 706.6p.

3. Restricted Share Plan

It was confirmed on 6 June 2007 that on 5 June 2007 the following awards under
the Marks and Spencer Group Restricted Share Plan were made to PDMRs of the
Company:

Senior management           Allocation of Restricted Shares (see Note below)

Steven Esom                                     70,761
Carl Leaver                                     70,761


Note:

The Restricted Share Plan was established in 2000 as part of the reward strategy
for senior management who are vital to the future success of the Company. The
Plan operates for senior management below executive director level. Awards are
made as part of ongoing reviews of reward packages, and as part of recruitment
packages for new executives. The shares are held in Trust for a period of
between one and three years, at which point they are released subject to the
participant still being in employment with the Company.

For the purposes of this calculation the grant was made at a share price of
706.6p. There will be no match paid against these restricted shares, although
the value of dividends accrued either in the form of dividend equivalents or
through a Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be paid at the end of the period.
