Pearson plc - (the "Company")

Notification of PDMR Interests

Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") - 2019 Vesting

On 3 May 2016, the Company made a grant of performance-related restricted shares to members of the Pearson Executive under the shareholder approved LTIP which vested on 3 May 2019. Under the terms of the LTIP, the shares released to participants on 3 May 2019 are based on Pearson's performance over the three-year period from 2016 to 2018 and the share price on 31 December 2018 and continued employment throughout the period to the vesting date. Further, the participants are required to retain the shares released (after any sales to discharge tax liabilities) for a two-year holding period following vesting.

The following table sets out the number of shares released to Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility (PDMR) on 3 May 2019 and notified to the Company on 7 May 2019. The LTIP rules require that sufficient shares are sold to discharge the tax liability arising on the shares released. The shares set out in the fourth column below were sold on 3 May 2019 at the price shown in the fifth column below and with the number set out in the sixth column below being retained by the PDMR (either as ordinary shares or ADRs, as indicated in that column).
