Macfarlane Group PLC
10 April 2000
Macfarlane Group PLC announces that following a review of the
arrangements for the stewardship of its existing Employee
Share Ownership Trust ('ESOT') it has been determined that the
trustees should be independent of the trust and have no
technical interest therein.
As a result John Ward and John Love, Chairman and Finance
Director respectively have today resigned as trustees
following the appointment of a number of new additional
trustees to administer the ESOT. The ESOT currently holds
444,257 ordinary shares of 25p each in Macfarlane Group PLC.
