May Gurney Integrated Services plc ("May Gurney" or the "Company")

Directors' sharedealings

May Gurney announces that it was informed on 16 June 2008 that certain of the Directors of the Company had undertaken transactions in the ordinary shares of 5p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares").

Philip Fellowes-Prynne, currently Chief Operating Officer and to be made Chief Executive Officer following the AGM on 7 July 2008, purchased 29,500 Ordinary Shares in May Gurney. 

In addition, under the May Gurney Unapproved Share Option Scheme (the "Scheme"), Michael Dunn, Group Finance Director, has exercised options over 600,000 shares, increasing his shareholding in the Company by 150,000 after satisfying exercise costs and tax liabilities.  

A number of the Directors of May Gurney have undertaken disposals of part of their beneficial holdings of Ordinary Shares in order to satisfy tax liabilities arising on the transfers to trust announced earlier this year, in light of the 80% increase in the rate of Capital Gains Tax following the ending of the current UK taper relief rules on 6 April 2008. All these transactions took place at a price of 252 pence per share on 16 June 2008.

Following these transactions the directors and their connected persons are interested in the following holdings of Ordinary Shares:

Pursuant to the Rules of the Scheme, the May Gurney Employee Share Ownership Trust (the "ESOT") was instructed on 16 June 2008 to sell a total of 671,570 Ordinary Shares resulting from the exercise of 893,000 options from employees. The price of the 671,570 shares sold was £2.52.

The ESOT is a significant shareholder in May Gurney and holds shares, inter alia, to satisfy exercises of options under the Company's share schemes. The trustee of the ESOT is May Gurney Group Trustees Limited ("MGGT"), an indirect subsidiary of the Company. The following directors of the Company are also directors of MGGT and beneficiaries under the ESOT, and thus interested in this transaction: 

Tim Ross 

David Sterry 

Philip Fellowes-Prynne 

Michael Dunn 

Ian Findlater 

Richard Dean 

David Galloway 

Following the disposal the ESOT will hold 2,181,878 ordinary shares, representing 3.11% of the Company's issued share capital of 70,236,016.
