Director/PDMR Shareholding

RNS Number:2165A
Chloride Group PLC
22 March 2006


Chloride Group PLC ("the Company") announces that, as a result of the exercise
of share options by an option holder who is neither a director of the Company
nor a person discharging managerial responsibility, the number of Ordinary
Shares of 25p each in the Company ("Shares") held by the Chloride Group Employee
Benefit Trust ("the Trust") was reduced on 22 March 2006 by 10,000 Shares.

The Trust exists for the purpose of transferring such Shares to option holders
on the exercise of options granted under certain of the Company's share option
schemes ("the Schemes").

Following the reduction the Trust holds 8,306,086 Shares (3.34%).  This compares
to the 8,316,086 Shares (3.34%) previously held by the Trust as announced on 8
March 2006.

Each of Mr K H Hodgkinson and Mr N W Warner, being Executive Directors of the
Company, is, for Companies Act purposes, regarded as having an interest in the
8,306,086 Shares held by the Trust.  Despite the technical interest in all the
Shares held by the Trust, an Executive Director will only be able to exercise
options subject to certain performance criteria being met.  He will then only be
able to receive from the Trust that number of Shares to which he is entitled on
exercise of an option granted to him under the terms of the Schemes.
