EXPLANATORY NOTE
Partial Reallocation of Securities
BT Group plc (the "Company") is filing
this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement (the "Amendment") in order to reallocate
certain securities originally registered by the Company pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 12, 2011, File No. 333-178663 (the "2011 Form S-8"). The securities
originally registered for offer or sale pursuant to the BT Group plc Global Share Option Plan (the "GSOP") will be
reallocated to the BT Group plc US Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). A total of 18,000,000 of the
Company's Ordinary Shares were registered under the 2011 Form S-8 for offer or sale pursuant to the GSOP, the ESPP, the BT
Group plc Incentive Share Plan and the BT Group Deferred Bonus Plan (together, the "Plans"), with 1,000,000 of
those Ordinary Shares originally registered for offer or sale pursuant to the GSOP, all of which remain outstanding.
On December 13, 2016, the Directors of the Company voted
to re-allocate the 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares which were registered on the 2011 Form S-8 for offer or sale pursuant to the GSOP
(the "Reallocated Shares") to the ESPP. In accordance with the undertaking contained in the 2011 Form S-8, the Company
is therefore filing this Amendment to reallocate, by means of a post-effective amendment, the Reallocated Shares for issuance by
the Company pursuant to the 2011 Form S-8 for offer or sale pursuant to the Company's ESPP.
The 2011 Form S-8 will remain in effect as to the Reallocated
Shares and the balance of the Ordinary Shares subject to outstanding awards under the Plans.
SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Act, the Registrant, BT Group plc, certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in London, England on the 13th day of December, 2016.
