The Berkeley Group Holdings plc ("the Company")

The Company was notified on 27 June 2008 that on 27 June 2008 650,000 ordinary shares of 25p 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 Executive Incentive Plan. The shares were acquired at 677.9385p per share.

Following the purchase of shares, each director's interest has technically increased by the number of shares acquired by the trust which does not relate to his own award. Each Executive Director therefore has a technical interest in all of the 650,000 shares acquired.

Note: For Companies Act purposes, 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 shares are transferred to individuals on the share vesting date.
