Director Shareholding

GlaxoSmithKline PLC
2 October 2001


                             Directors' Interests


I give below details of changes in directors' interests in the Ordinary Shares
of GlaxoSmithKline plc.

1 October 2001      Abacus (GW) Trustees Limited, as trustee of The Glaxo 
                    Wellcome Employee Trust ('the Trust'), transferred 1,445 
                    Ordinary Shares in the Company to participants of the Glaxo 
                    Wellcome 1999 Share Option Plan.


The Company was advised of this transaction on 2 October 2001.

The Trust is a discretionary trust of which all employees or former employees
of Glaxo Wellcome plc and its subsidiaries are potential beneficiaries. Two of
the Company's directors, Sir Richard Sykes and John Coombe are therefore
interested in the shares held in the Trust from time to time in the same way
as other employees or former employees of Glaxo Wellcome plc and its
subsidiaries.
