Re: Holding in Company - Disclosure and Transparency Rules


Mothercare plc announces it has been advised by M&G Investment Management Ltd
that Prudential plc and certain of its subsidiary companies have reduced their
holding and crossed down through the 10% threshold. M&G Investment Management
Limited's notifiable interest comprises 7,319,768 ordinary Mothercare plc 50p
shares representing 9.98% of the voting rights. (Total interest for the group is
7,335,236 ordinary shares or 10% of the voting rights.)


This is based on Mothercare's issued share capital of 73,302,714 ordinary 50p
