WALKER GREENBANK PLC
('Walker Greenbank' or 'the Company')
Transaction in own shares
and Directors' Dealings and Total Voting Rights
Walker Greenbank PLC (AIM: WGB), the designer, manufacturer and distributor of
furnishing fabrics and wallpapers whose international brands include Sanderson,
Morris & Co, Harlequin and Zoffany, announces that on 16 January 2008 it made on
market purchases into treasury of 700,000 ordinary shares of 1p each in the
Company ('Ordinary Shares') at 42.25 p per Ordinary Share.
It is intended that these Ordinary Shares will be used to satisfy conditional
awards made under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ('LTIP') in May 2007.
Following this transaction Walker Greenbank's issued ordinary share capital with
voting rights consists of 59,006,162 Ordinary Shares of which 700,000 Ordinary
Shares are held in treasury. Therefore the total number of voting rights in, and
the figure to be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by
which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in
Walker Greenbank PLC under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency rules, is
58,306,162 Ordinary Shares.
The effect of purchasing the above Ordinary Shares is anticipated to be earnings
enhancing in that it will remove the requirement for the future issue of that
number of new Ordinary Shares to satisfy awards under the LTIP.
