Director/PDMR Shareholding

Kewill Systems plc (LSE: KWL) announces that on 7 August 2006 Mr Iain Bishop, a senior executive having PDMR (but not director) status, accepted a grant of options over 100,000 ordinary shares in the Company, at an exercise price of 69p per share, exercisable between 28 June 2009 and 27 June 2016. The award has been made pursuant to the rules of the Company's Executive Share Option No 1 and No 2 Schemes (the "Schemes"). The price is calculated according to the Scheme rules as the middle-market quotation of the Kewill 1p ordinary shares on the day immediately preceding the date of grant, being 28 June 2006. Following the acceptance of these options, Mr Bishop holds a total of 100,000 options.

The grant was an ad hoc grant upon the appointment of Mr Bishop as Group Chief Technical Officer in May 2006. The Company will announce (in the forthcoming annual report and accounts and accompanying notice of annual general meeting) details of a proposed performance share plan to replace the Schemes and to be submitted for approval at the annual general meeting (to be held on 14th September 2006).
