Directors' Dealings

TRINITY MIRROR PLC
13 September 1999


Michael David Masters exercised 30,038 options at an option price of £1.568 on
8th September as these options were due to lapse shortly on the expiry of 10
years from the date of grant.

Mr Masters today sold 8,320 shares resulting from the exercise at 569 pence
per share which raised sufficient monies to meet the funding costs of
exercising these options and the balance of shares have been retained by Mr.
Masters.

As a result of this transaction Mr. Masters' beneficial holding in Trinity
Mirror plc has increased from 93,957 ordinary shares of 10p to 115,675
ordinary shares of 10p representing 0.083% of the issued share capital.
