The Berkeley Group Holdings plc ('the Company')
Director/PDMR Shareholding
The Company was notified on 16 February 2010 that on the same day, 217,655 ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the Company were acquired by Kleinwort Benson (Jersey) Trustees Limited as trustees of The Berkeley Group Employee Benefit Trust in connection with The Berkeley Group Holdings plc 2004(b) Long Term Incentive Plan. The shares were acquired at a price of 751.61 pence per share.
Following the purchase of shares, each director's interest has technically increased by the number of shares acquired by the trust which do not necessarily relate to his own award. Each Executive Director therefore has a technical interest in all of the 217,655 shares acquired.
Note: For the purposes of the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules, the Executive Directors of The Berkeley Group Holdings plc, together with all employees of the Company, are deemed to have a technical interest in the shares held in The Berkeley Group's Employee Benefit Trust. The interest ceases when share are transferred to individuals on the share vesting date.
