Director/PDMR Shareholding

Marshalls PLC 10 March 2008 NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF DIRECTORS, PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY OR CONNECTED PERSONS On 10 March 2008 Marshalls plc was notified that, on that date, Marshalls EBT Limited, the Trustee of the Marshalls plc 2005 Employee Benefit Trust, purchased 165,000 ordinary shares of 25 pence each in the Company at a price of 248.83 pence per share on behalf of Directors and Senior Executives who are participating in the Marshalls plc 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan (the LTIP). Under the rules of the LTIP Directors and Senior Executives undertake to use a percentage of their bonus to purchase shares in the Company (Investment Shares) and, in return, are granted a Matching Share Award of Shares. Directors and Senior Executives have irrevocably committed to use a fixed sum of money payable from their 2007 bonus to purchase Investment Shares and the Company has granted them Matching Share Awards over such number of shares that equals two times the number of shares that the Directors and Senior Executives could have bought had the investment of his or her bonus been made on a pre-tax basis. To be eligible to receive the Matching Share Award, the Directors and Senior Executives must leave their Investment Shares in the Trust and remain in employment for a period of three years from the date of grant of the Matching Share Award. The actual number of shares transferred to a Director or Senior Executive on the vesting of the Matching Share Award will depend on the extent to which a corporate performance target (which relates to growth in the Company's earnings per share) is satisfied over the three year vesting period. Full details of the LTIP are provided in the Report on Directors' Remuneration in the Marshalls plc 2006 Annual Report. The following Directors and Senior Executives (being persons discharging managerial responsibilities (PDMRs)) acquired interests in shares under the LTIP as follows: Director Number of Total Number of Investment beneficial shares granted Shares shareholding under Matching purchased following this Share Award announcement Graham Holden 69,559 368,994 235,791 Ian Burrell 38,440 165,667 130,305 David Sarti 38,440 164,796 130,305 PDMR Christopher Harrop 1,307 4,344 4,430 Kevin Hull 1,608 4,581 5,449 The Directors of Marshalls EBT Limited are David Graham Holden and Ian David Burrell who are Directors of the Company.
