Report and Accounts amendment

Following the recent release of the Next plc Annual Report & Accounts for the year ended 30 January 2010,  we have identified an error in the reported diluted earnings per share figure and the related note to the financial statements (Note 8).  This does not affect basic earnings per share.

Basic earnings per share, our prime measure of performance, is correctly stated at 188.5p.

The correct figure for diluted earnings per share is 185.6p (and not 177.4p as printed) based on 196.2 million shares including 3.1 million potential ordinary shares (and not 205.2 million including 12.1 million as printed).

The correction of this error has no impact on the Group's reported profits or equity.

An copy of the Annual Report & Accounts with this erratum note has been submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will be available for inspection at the UK Listing Authority's Document Viewing Facility which is situated at: Financial Services Authority, 25 The North Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5HS, Telephone: [phone].
