British American Tobacco p.l.c. (the "Company") - Voting Rights and Capital



In conformity with the Transparency Directive's transitional provision 6 ("TP6
"), we notify the market of the following:-



On 5 January 2007, the Company allotted a total of 64,891 ordinary shares of 25p
each pursuant to the exercise of options under the British American Tobacco
Sharesave Scheme. Therefore, as of today, the Company's issued share capital
consists of 2,062,277,982 ordinary shares of 25p each with voting rights (the "
Voting Rights Figure").



At the time of this announcement, no shares are held in treasury by the Company.



For the purposes of clarification, the previous announcements made by the
Company in conformity with TP6 up to the date of this announcement, stated a
Voting Rights Figure which did not take account of DTR 5.8.7. Therefore, the
Voting Rights Figure as shown above (and which may be amended from time to time)
is that which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
voting rights interest, or a change to that interest, in the Company under the
FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
