   Stagecoach Group plc (the "Company") has today been notified of 
transactions in the holding structure by which Sir Brian Souter (a 
director of the Company) holds his and his families' interests in the 
Company's ordinary shares of 125/228th pence each ("Ordinary Shares"). 
 
   There has been no change to either (a) the aggregate number of Ordinary 
Shares in which Sir Brian Souter and persons closely associated with him 
have an interest; or (b) the number of voting rights exercisable by Sir 
Brian Souter (as determined in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance 
and Transparency Rules). 
 
   On 21 October 2019, Sir Brian Souter transferred a number of shares in 
Souter Investments Limited ("SIL") to the trustees of The Souter 
Charitable Trust ("SCT").  SIL is the ultimate holding company of HGT 
Finance B Limited which, itself, holds Ordinary Shares.  As a result of 
these steps, the ultimate economic interests of Sir Brian Souter and SCT 
in the Ordinary Shares have changed. The table set out below shows such 
changes in ultimate economic interests in Ordinary Shares and further 
details are set out in the notifications set out at the end of this 
announcement (which are made in accordance with the EU Market Abuse 
Regulation). 
 
   The number of Ordinary Shares held by HGT Finance B Limited (as more 
particularly described in the Company's announcement of 5 March 2015) 
has not changed and Sir Brian Souter will continue to exercise the 
voting rights in connection with the Ordinary Shares held by HGT Finance 
B Limited as a result of his shareholding in, and membership of the 
board of, SIL.
