Ted Baker Plc ("Ted Baker" or the "Company")
PROPOSED PLACING OF ORDINARY SHARES
Ted Baker plc, the British lifestyle brand, has been advised by
Ray Kelvin CBE, Founder and Chief Executive of the Company, of his
intention to exercise nil-cost options due to him under the
Company's 2009 Value Creation Plan in respect of 202,382 Ordinary
Shares in the Company. The holding for Ray Kelvin will not increase
as a result of the options being exercised because all such shares
will be pre-placed for sale with independent parties prior to
exercise (the "Placing"). The Placing represents 0.46 per cent. of
the total number of voting rights in the Company.
Assuming that the maximum number of Ordinary Shares were sold
pursuant to the Placing, Ray Kelvin's interest in the Company would
be as follows:

expected to be announced as soon as practicable.
