Woolworths Group PLC - Administration Order 
 
 
Woolworths Group plc (the "Company") announces that the High Court has today 
granted an application that an order of administration be made in respect of the 
Company. 
 
 
As announced on 27 November 2008, the termination of the Company's discussions 
for the sale of its retail business led to the administration of its two major 
subsidiaries, Woolworths plc and Entertainment UK Ltd. Accordingly, Neville 
Kahn, Daniel Butters and Nicholas Dargan (the "Joint Administrators") were 
appointed as Joint Administrators to both companies on that date. 
 
 
With the order made this morning in the High Court by Mr Justice Patton, the 
Joint Administrators are now also appointed as administrators to the Company.
