being a business day) ordinary shares of 25p each in British American
Tobacco p.l.c. (the "Shares") were awarded as dividend shares to the
persons discharging managerial responsibility (the "Participants") listed

Note: the Vesting Awards, being 171 Shares for each of Messrs Cobben, Daly and
Fell have been reported as a beneficial interest since they were granted (or
date of appointment as a PDMR, whichever is appropriate) and these, together
with the dividend shares awarded on 6 April 2010, are being held under the
Participants` names in the corporate nominee account administered by the
Company`s Registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC.
Therefore, the increase in each Participant`s beneficial and family interests
is the award of the dividend shares, with the exception of Mr M M Cobben who,
at the time of the Vesting Awards, sold 93 Shares to cover tax liability.
His total beneficial and family interest after both the above transactions
is 141,474 (including 26,116 Deferred Shares).
