Roland Peate Company Secretary Letter to The Vitec Group PLC Letter dated 06 March 2007 Major Shareholding Notification I hereby inform you that as at 05-March-07 Barclays PLC, through the legal entities listed in the enclosed notification, held 8.24% of the total voting rights attaching to shares in your Company. Full details of our interest are set out in the attached notification. As you will be aware, following the implementation of the Transparency Directive in the UK, the requirements for the notification of major shareholdings have changed. The obligation to notify is now based upon control over the exercise of voting rights attached to shares and financial instruments rather than 'interests in shares'. Additionally we now have the opportunity to disaggregate certain holdings held for the benefit of clients from our notification. The result of these changes is that the interest set out in this notification may be inconsistent with previous disclosures made to you but will be the basis of notifications going forward.
