                               THE RANK GROUP PLC

              The Rank Group Employee Benefit Trust ('the Trust')



The Trustee of the Trust, established under a Trust Deed dated 4 October 1996,
on 28 February 2003 agreed to transfer 1,649,642 ordinary shares in The Rank
Group Plc ('Rank') to certain individuals participating in the Rank Group 2000
Long Term Incentive Plan ('the Plan') and sold a further 995,439 ordinary shares
in Rank to meet certain withholding tax and liabilities arising out of such
transfer.

On 28 February 2003 the Trust also acquired 1,000,000 ordinary shares in Rank
for 234.75 pence per share in order to meet part of anticipated future
requirements for all participating employees under the Plan.

As the Trust is a discretionary trust, all executive directors of Rank are
deemed to be interested in the shares held by the Trust. We therefore advise you
that the executive directors of the Company being members of the class of
potential beneficiaries, are now interested in a total 2,252,076 ordinary shares
of 10 pence each in the Company held by the Trustee.
