Share Transfers

Taylor Wimpey plc ("the Company") has been notified by the Trustees of the Company's various employee share trusts that there have been no acquisitions of the Company's 1p ordinary shares ("Shares") and no transfers of Shares made since the last balance report and accordingly the current holding of the Company's employee share trusts remains:

Taylor Wimpey Employee Benefit Trust 17,358,774 Shares

These Shares will be used to meet the valid exercise or vesting of options or awards over Shares granted under the terms of the Company's various share plans.

Each of the executive directors of the Company is a potential beneficiary under both Trusts and therefore is regarded as having a notional interest in the current holdings of each Trust.
