All other details in the announcement remain the same. The full corrected announcement is set out below.

PITTARDS PLC

(AIM: PTD)

Director / PDMR Shareholding

Pittards plc ("Pittards" or "the Company"), the specialist producer of technically advanced leather and luxury leather goods for sale to retailers, manufacturers and distributors, has been informed that on 20 March 2012 Chamberlain Plastics Limited ("CPL"), a company in which Stephen Boyd, Chairman is deemed beneficially to be interested, sold 250,000 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company and on 21 March sold a further 450,000 shares, at a price of 3.5p per share.

The sale was undertaken to assist CPL's working capital requirements.
