Director Shareholding

GlaxoSmithKline PLC 13 February 2004 Director's Interests The three year performance period for the Performance Share Plan Awards granted on 29th March 2001, commenced on 1st January 2001 and came to an end on the 31st December 2003. The Remuneration Committee of the Board of GlaxoSmithKline plc considered the performance achieved during this period and determined that 50% of these Awards would vest on the 12th February 2004. There were two performance conditions attached to this award, the first condition compared GlaxoSmithKline's total shareholder return (TSR) with the TSR of companies in the FTSE 100 index. For any of the awards to vest under this condition, GlaxoSmithKline had to rank at least 50th against the index companies. None of the awards subject to this condition vested as GlaxoSmithKline was ranked at 51st position. The second condition, which applied to the balance of the award, was achieved in full. The condition required GlaxoSmithKline's business performance earnings per share growth, excluding currency and exceptional items, to be at least nine percentage points more than the increase in the UK Retail Price Index over the three year performance period. Consequently, I give below changes in the interests of the following directors over Ordinary Shares and American Depositary Shares of GlaxoSmithKline plc. The Company and the Directors were informed of these changes on 12th February 2004. Dr J-P Garnier Final Award of 35,000 ADS Ordinary shares in the Company. Dr Garnier has elected to defer this award until retirement. Dr Garnier sold 508 of these at $43.2492 to meet the Medicare liability that arises in the US on the vesting of such awards. Dr Tachi Yamada Final Award of 10,000 ADS Ordinary Shares in the Company. Dr Yamada subsequently sold 3,199 of these at $43.2492 to meet the resultant tax liability. Mr John Coombe Final Award of 20,000 Ordinary Shares in the Company. Mr Coombe subsequently sold 8,200 of these at £11.07 to meet the resultant tax liability.
