                                    G4S PLC                                     

                  Purchase of Shares by Employee Benefit Trust                  



The company was informed on 2 November 2007 that, on 1 November 2007, the       
trustees of the Group 4 Securicor Employee Benefit Trust (“the Trust”) purchased
483,775 ordinary shares of G4S plc at £2.1035 per share.                        

Following the acquisition, 4,994,745 ordinary shares of G4S plc are held by the 
Trust.                                                                          

The executive directors of the company and other persons within the company     
discharging managerial responsibilities are within the class of potential       
beneficiaries under the Trust and are deemed to have a non-beneficial interest  
in these ordinary shares.  However, none of these persons has acquired a        
beneficial interest in such shares.
