                           Voting Rights and Capital                           

In conformity with provision 5.6.1 of the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency
Rule (the "Rules") we would like to provide the market with an update on voting
rights and capital at the end of the calendar month:

  * Spectris plc's capital consists of 125,005,123 ordinary shares with voting
    rights.
   
  * As at 31 January 2008 there were 9,279,173 ordinary shares held in
    Treasury.
   
Therefore, the total number of voting rights in Spectris plc is 115,725,950.

The above figure (115,725,950) may be used by shareholders as the denominator
for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to
notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Spectris plc under
the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
