The Company announces conditional awards made under the Taylor Wimpey Performance Share Plan ("TWPSP") and also the number of shares that certain Executives have been required to defer under the Taylor Wimpey 2008 Executive Incentive Scheme ("TWEIS")

TWPSP 2010 Awards

Conditional performance share awards have today been granted to three Executive Directors and one Person Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMR") as set out in the table below.

Due to the later timing of the grant of the 2009 long term incentive awards to Executives, 2010 awards are to be made in two equal instalments. The second instalment will be made and announced as soon as practicably possible after the Company's announcement of its 2010 half year results.

Pete Redfern	Director	1,574,606
Chris Rickard	Director	854,786
Sheryl Palmer	Director	454,499

The price used to calculate the above awards was 40.01 pence being the average mid-market close price for Taylor Wimpey plc 1p Ordinary Shares for the three days prior to the date of these awards on 22 March 2010.

The vesting of awards under the TWPSP will be subject to the achievement of performance criteria based on Total Shareholder Return and Return on Capital Employed which will be measured at the end of the applicable three year performance period in respect of each award made.
