Parity Group plc ('Parity' or 'the Group')

Director's Interests

On 18 October 2006, John Hughes, Executive Chairman at that time, was granted 
an award under the Parity Group plc Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 'Plan') over
Parity ordinary shares. Mr Hughes has now surrendered his award under the Plan.

The maximum award was 960,000 shares at a subscription price of 2 pence per
share.  The key performance measure was that Parity's share price had to meet 
or exceed 135p per share for a period of 60 consecutive days within the three 
years starting on the grant date in order for 50% of the award to vest.  Higher 
share prices would increase the award, with the maximum at a sustained price of
300p.

As a result of this surrender, there will be no share-based payment charge to
group profits under IFRS2 in 2008 in respect of these options.
