The grants are being made under the Pinnacle Telecom Group plc unapproved share 
option scheme, in the case of Mr. Goodland and Mr. Giddens, and under the 
Pinnacle Telecom Group plc EMI approved share option scheme in the case of all 
the others. The options will vest on the second anniversary of the date of 
grant, and will lapse if not exercised within ten years from the date of grant.

mid market price of the ordinary shares on 8 July 2009.  
  
Following this grant, the total number of options in issue is 104,212,121 
representing 6.12 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of
