Director/PDMR Shareholding

Galiform PLC 18 March 2008 GALIFORM PLC - DISCLOSURE OF TRANSACTIONS CONDUCTED ON PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY'S OWN ACCOUNT; OPERATION OF THE COMPANY'S SHARE INCENTIVE PLANS. Release of shares from former Senior Management Co-Investment Plan The Company was notified on 17 March 2008 that the following Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility (PDMR) have increased their shareholding in the Company due to a release of shares previously committed to a Senior Management Co-Investment Plan (the 'Plan'). The Plan under which grants were made from 2002 - 2005 allowed selected senior executives to defer all or some of their annual bonus into the Plan. The deferred amounts were converted into shares ('Commitment Shares') which were then held conditionally on behalf of the executives by the Company's Employee Benefit Trust for a three year period. At the end of the period, assuming performance criteria had been met, a matching share award of 1.5 times the number of Commitment Shares would be made. Although the matching shares have not been awarded in this instance due to the performance criteria not having been met, the Commitment Shares were yesterday released from the Plan thus increasing the individual shareholdings of the following PDMRs.
