Notification of Transactions by Directors
Executive Remuneration Plan 2005 (the 'Plan')
On 17 March 2010 the Company granted awards under the Plan to its executive directors in respect of ordinary shares of 5p each in the Company ('shares'). These awards took the form of performance shares or, at the election of each individual, options to subscribe for shares and were subject to an absolute earnings per share performance target for the year ended 31 December 2012. Following completion of the performance period, the Company announces that 48.8% of the performance share awards have vested and that 46.3% of the share options have become exercisable. The remainder of the awards which have not vested or become exercisable has now lapsed.

The Company therefore announces the number of shares which were transferred to Paul Whitmore on 18 March 2013. These shares include additional shares representing the dividend equivalent to which he is entitled under the Plan. These shares were satisfied from market purchased shares held in the Morgan Sindall Employee Benefit Trust.
In addition, he has disposed of a proportion of the shares vesting in order to fund the tax and national insurance contribution payable in respect of them.
