Transaction in Own Shares, Cancellation of Treasury Shares & TVR

Leeds Group announces that on 30 March 2011 it purchased 100,000 of its own Ordinary Shares to be held in treasury. The shares were purchased at 19p each.

In addition, Leeds Group announces that it is canceling 500,000 of its Ordinary Shares held in treasury, in order to bring its holding in treasury below 10% of the issued share capital.

As a result of the above purchase and cancellation, the total number of Ordinary Shares now held in treasury is 2,940,658 and the number of Ordinary Shares in issue (not including those held in treasury) is 28,659,342.

For the purposes of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company's total issued share capital at the date of this notice comprises 31,600,000 ordinary shares of 12p each, with one voting right per share. There are 2,940,658 shares held in treasury, representing 9.3% of the total issued share capital.

The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 28,659,342. 

The above figure of 28,659,342 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 to their interest in, the Company, under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
