1. A press release from Pearson plc announcing Director's share interests
30 June 2006
Pearson plc - Director's share interests
Pearson announces that Marjorie Scardino, chief executive, has acquired an
interest in ordinary shares in Pearson.
She has chosen to exchange GBP137,952 of her current unfunded pension
entitlement for ordinary shares of Pearson. This election is not reversible.
This adds to the GBP641,882 of pension entitlement that she elected to exchange
for Pearson shares in 2004.
The number of shares was set at the mid-market value of Pearson shares at the
close of business yesterday.
This change does not represent any alteration in the company's pension
obligations or compensation to Marjorie Scardino. Further details of these
arrangements are set out in the company's Report and Accounts to shareholders.
