Legal & General Group Employee Share Plan ('the Plan')

In common with all eligible employees, each of the executive directors of Legal
& General Group Plc ('Group') have been invited to apply for partnership shares
under the Plan on a monthly basis. On 2 January 2004 each executive director
chose to contribute to purchase the following partnership shares:


                                Partnership Shares
C. R. R. Avery                  125
T. J. Breedon                   125
A.W. Palmer                     125
R. A. Phipps                    125
D. J. Prosser                   125


The Group matched these shares, on a one-to-one basis, up to £20 per month.
Accordingly, each executive director received 20 matching shares, with the
exception of R. A. Phipps who received 21 matching shares due to rounding
differences. The shares were purchased at a price of 0.9975p per share.

Following these awards, the executive directors' current beneficial holdings in
the Group now stand at:

C. R. R. Avery                  692,352
