                                   CELTIC PLC

                              Issued share capital

As a result of conversion of 2,000 Convertible Preferred Ordinary Shares of 100p
('CPO Shares') in the capital of Celtic plc during April 2008, the Company's
issued share capital at 30 April 2008 was as follows:

88,602,901         Ordinary Shares of 1p each
14,507,591         Cumulative Convertible Preferred Ordinary Shares of 100p each
16,795,912         Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares of 60 p each
443,736,791        Deferred Shares of 1p each

Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares do not carry voting rights. Deferred
Shares are not listed, are not transferable and carry no voting rights or
substantive economic rights.

The above figures for Ordinary Shares and CPO Shares 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 in their interest, under the
FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Application is being made for the 4,160 new Ordinary Shares of 1p each arising
from the conversion of CPO shares to be listed with effect from 12 May 2008.

End.
