Dear Sirs
Hanson PLC - DIRECTORS' / PDMRs' SHARE INTERESTS
1. Vesting of March 1, 2004 Awards under Hanson Long Term Incentive Plan
(the "LTIP") and Grants under Hanson Share Option Plan (the "Option Plan")
Following the end of the three year performance period for the conditional
awards of shares made and conditional options granted on March 1, 2004 under the
LTIP and Option Plan, respectively, on March 1, 2007 approximately 1.9 million
Hanson ordinary shares of 10p each ("shares") vested in favour of approximately
230 LTIP participants and approximately 0.4 million shares vested (ie became
capable of being exercised at a subscription price of 439.6p per share) in
favour of 13 Option Plan participants.
There were two performance measures to be satisfied for participants to become
entitled under the Plans.
Half of the conditional awards of shares under the LTIP and half of the
conditional grants of options under the Option Plan were dependent on Hanson's
total shareholder return ("TSR") (ie the average share price adjusted for the
reinvestment of dividends) over a three year performance period, compared to the
members of an international peer group of 13 companies, including Hanson.
During the performance period, Hanson's TSR more than doubled and exceeded half
of the members of the comparator group. In accordance with the performance
criteria, 30% of the conditional awards / grants of options subject to the TSR
performance measure vested on March 1, 2007.
The remaining half of the conditional awards of shares under the LTIP and the
remaining half of the conditional grants of options under the Option Plan were
subject to the attainment of an economic value added target with a linear
vesting schedule applying. The improvement in economic value added over the
three year performance period exceeded £37.2 million and means that 100% of the
conditional awards / grants of options subject to the economic value added
performance measure vested on March 1, 2007.
Overall, 65% of the conditional awards under the LTIP and 65% of the conditional
grants of options under the Option Plan vested, with the balance of the awards
and grants, respectively, lapsing.
Details of the participation of the executive directors and PDMRs of Hanson in
the LTIP vesting are set out below:-

a. The executive directors and PDMRs concerned elected to satisfy their
liabilities to income tax and (where applicable) national insurance
contributions, arising on the vesting of shares under the LTIP, out of the share
award.
Shares retained by the executive directors, PDMRs and other participants in the
LTIP will be transferred from treasury shares held by the Company.
Details of the participation of the executive directors and PDMRs of Hanson in
the Option Plan are set out below:-
Number of shares under
Director option vesting Exercise price Expiry date of option

L S Cadzow 32,095 439.6p February 28, 2014
P J O'Shea 31,050 439.6p February 28, 2014
J R Read 31,421 439.6p February 28, 2014
D J Szymanski 24,397 439.6p February 28, 2014
2. 2007 conditional award under the LTIP
The 2007 conditional award under the LTIP has been made on March 1, 2007 to
approximately 200 Hanson senior executives, including the executive directors
and PDMRs listed below:
Maximum conditional number
Director of shares
A J Murray 153,982
P S Binning 64,984
G Dransfield 54,464
Maximum conditional number
PDMR of shares
L S Cadzow 38,398
J K Kitzmiller 66,770
R C Manning 60,092
P J O'Shea 43,888
J R Read 36,152
D J Szymanski 29,754
The vesting of the conditional award under the LTIP is subject to the
satisfaction of performance measures. The Remuneration Committee of the Board
of Hanson has decided that 50% of the conditional award of shares under the LTIP
will be subject to a total shareholder return ("TSR") measure, 25% of the
conditional award of shares will be subject to an EPS measure and the remaining
25% of the conditional award of shares will be subject to a cash flow growth
measure.
For the TSR measure, the Company must achieve a TSR over a three year
performance period which is greater than the TSR achieved by at least 50% of the
members of an international comparator group of companies. If so 30% of the
conditional award subject to the TSR measure will vest. All of the conditional
award subject to the TSR measure will vest if the Company achieves a TSR over
the performance period which is greater than that achieved by 80% of the
comparator group over the same period. Between these two points the award will
vest in the proportion of 2.33% of the award for each 1% improvement in the
Company's ranking.
The vesting of awards under the EPS and cash flow growth performance measures
will depend on the performance of the Company's EPS (continuing operations
before impairments) and the Company's net cash flow from operating activities
(excluding additional pension contributions) over a fixed three-year performance
period starting on the first date of the financial year in which the awards are
granted. For the 2007 conditional award, performance will be measured against
the results for the year ending December 31, 2006.
The extent to which awards will vest will depend on the extent to which growth
in these two performance measures exceeds inflation over the three year
performance period on the following bases:
i) EPS measure
Average annual EPS growth over the three year % of award vesting applicable to the EPS
performance period performance measure
Less than RPI +3% 0%
RPI + 3% 25%
RPI +9% or more 100%
Between RPI +3% and RPI +9% Between 25% and 100%
on a straight line basis
ii) Cash flow measure
Average annual cash flow growth over the three % of award vesting applicable to the cash flow
year performance period growth measure
Less than RPI +5% 0%
RPI +5% 25%
RPI +10% or more 100%
Between RPI +5% and RPI +10% Between 25% and 100%
on a straight line basis
This announcement is intended to satisfy obligations under both the Disclosure
Rules 3.1.4R(1) and S329 of the Companies Act 1985.
Yours faithfully
