Molins PLC announces that, to retain the flexibility to make purchases of its
own ordinary shares of 25p, the Directors decided on 6 March 2000 to seek
further shareholder authority at an extraordinary general meeting to be held on

At the 1999 Molins PLC annual general meeting on 21 April 1999, the Directors
were authorised to purchase and cancel 3,557,486 ordinary shares of 25p each
(approximately 10% of the then issued ordinary share capital) and pursuant to
that authority the Company purchased 3,097,045 shares. At an extraordinary

and cancel 3,247,781 ordinary shares of 25p each (approximately 10% of the then
