                               AMLIN plc
 
                       DIRECTORS' SHAREHOLDINGS


Amlin plc announces that a Director of the Company, Mr Tony Holt, has
acquired 154,032 ordinary shares of 25p each in the Company as a
result of exercising an executive share option on 2 July 2003 over
shares held by the Group's Employee Share Ownership Trust ("ESOT"). Mr
Holt has retained all of the shares acquired and, as a result, his and
his wife's aggregate shareholding has increased to 2,463,441 shares.
Mr Holt is underwriting director of Amlin's syndicate 2001 and
divisional underwriter of its Harvey Bowring division.

As a consequence of Mr Holt's option exercise, and options exercised
on 27 June 2003 and 1 July 2003 by non-Directors, each of the
executive Directors of Amlin plc (Messrs Carpenter, Holt, Hextall,
Philipps and Stace) ceased to be interested in a total of 207,885
Amlin shares, which they were previously interested in by virtue of
such shares being held by the ESOT. The total number of Amlin shares
now held by the ESOT is 5,461,005 (1.40% of the shares in issue).

Note: For Companies Act purposes, all of the executive Directors of
Amlin are deemed to have a technical interest in the shares held by
the ESOT. The interest ceases when shares are transferred to
individuals who exercise their options.

Further details of Mr Holt's disclosure to the Company follow in the
schedule below.
