Novae Group plc
                    Director / PDMR shareholding

On 9 January 2009, the beneficial  interests of two of the  executive
directors of Novae Group plc  ("the Company") in the Company's  £1.00
ordinary shares increased as set out in the table below owing to -

i) the  automatic transfer  into their  Novae Self-Invested  Personal
Pensions ("SIPP") of some of the  shares held on their behalf by  the
trustees of  the  Novae Group  Share  Incentive Plan  ("SIP")  (their
respective interests in  the SIP  are not  included in  the total  of
beneficial interests in the Company's ordinary shares announced  from
time to time and this  transfer of existing holdings is  consequently
reported as an increased interest); and

ii) the  SIPP  administrator's  putting into  effect  the  directors'
standing instruction to purchase  the Company's ordinary shares  with
SIPP cash  balances  arising  from  tax  recoveries  and  accumulated
dividends, which transactions were effected  at a price of £3.35  per
share.
