Ordinary Shares, following operation of the Share Matching Plan, on Friday 24
June 2005.
The following directors have
acquired additional Ordinary shares, which were purchased on their behalf, by
Towers Perrin Share Plan Services (Guernsey) Limited as Trustee of the National
Grid Transco Group Employee Share Trust, at a price of 528.5p per
share.

|
|
5. Mr N P

|

Following these purchases, each director has been
granted a matching award under the Share Matching Plan, calculated under the
Rules of the Scheme at a price of 527p. The award is exercisable at nil cost,
from 24 June 2008 to 24 June 2015 subject to the retention of the original
shares until the date of exercise.

Executive Share Option Plan as follows:
|
Director
|
Date of Grant
|
Number of shares over which options
granted
|
|
Steven Holliday
|
30.03.2001

These options were
subject to a performance condition which was required to be met as a condition
of exercise. This performance condition required TSR, measured over a period of
three years beginning with the financial year in which the option was granted,
to be at least median compared to a comparator group of companies.
For the options granted in 2001, this
performance condition was not satisfied at the end of the first three years of
the performance period. It has subsequently been retested as at 31 March 2004
and 31 March 2005, and as a result the options have lapsed in full.
For the options granted in 2002, the
performance condition was partly satisfied at the end of the first three years
of the performance period. As a result the options have
lapsed to the following
extent:
|
Director
|
Number of shares in respect of which option has
lapsed
|
|
Edward Astle
|
71170
|
|
Steven Holliday
|
183,749
|
|
Roger Urwin
|
62305
|
and will become exercisable as to the balance on the
third anniversary of the date of grant.
The total share interests of the above directors,
following these changes, are:
|
1. Mr E M
Astle
