          The Rank Group Employee Benefit Trust ('the Trust')

The Trustees of the Trust, established under a Trust Deed dated 4th October 
1996, have acquired 350,000 Ordinary shares in The Rank Group Plc for 269.5 
pence per share on 16 September 2002, in order to meet part of its anticipated 
future requirements for all participating employees under the Company's long 
term incentive plan.

As the Trust is a discretionary trust, all executive directors of The Rank Group 
Plc are deemed to be interested in the shares held by the Trust. We therefore 
advise you that the executive directors of the Company, being members of the 
class of potential beneficiaries, are now interested in a total of 2,574,389 
Ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company held by the Trustees.
