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

In conformity with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules provision 5.6.1, we notify the market of the following:-

That, as at 31 July 2008, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 2,007,864,726 ordinary shares of 25p each ("Shares") with voting rights (the "Voting Rights Figure").

As at 31 July 2008, the Company held 17,153,971 Shares in Treasury, which figure includes Shares purchased by the Company on or before 31 July 2008 and which (at settlement) will be held in Treasury after that date.

The Voting Rights Figure 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.

This announcement is a correction to that issued on 1 August 2008 in that the number of shares held in Treasury has been increased by 25,000 as at 31 July 2008 and the Voting Rights figure reduced accordingly.
