LETTER TO: JESSOPS PLC
DATED: 12 JANUARY 2009
Major Shareholding Notification
I hereby inform you that as at 08-January-09 Barclays PLC, through the legal
entities listed in the enclosed notification, held 10.01% of the total voting
rights attaching to shares in your Company.
Full details of our interest are set out in the attached notification.
As you will be aware, following the implementation of the Transparency Directive
in the UK, the requirements for the notification of major shareholdings have
changed. The obligation to notify is now based upon control over the exercise of
voting rights attached to shares and financial instruments rather than
"interests in shares". Additionally we now have the opportunity to disaggregate
certain holdings held for the benefit of clients from our notification.
The result of these changes is that the interest set out in this notification
may be inconsistent with previous disclosures made to you but will be the basis
of notifications going forward.
