Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMRs)/Persons Closely Associated (PCAs)

Mr Rochussen, on his appointment as chief executive on 17 July 2017, joined the Company's Executive Incentive Plan and was awarded a deferred, forfeitable interest in 802,967 ordinary shares of the Company (the "Award").

The terms of the Award provide for the release of one-third of the shares on the first, second and third anniversary of its granting.

On 18 July 2019, being the second anniversary of the grant of the Award, 267,656 ordinary shares in the Company were transferred from the Polar Capital Employee Benefit Trust to Mr Rochussen at nil cost. Of these, a total of 145,000 ordinary shares of the Company were sold in order to raise funds to meet the tax liability linked to this second release of ordinary shares under the Award. This sale occurred over two days, with 115,000 shares sold at 576p on 18 July 2019, and 30,000 shares sold at 576p on 19 July 2019. The balance of 122,656 ordinary shares were then transferred to Mr Rochussen.

Mr Rochussen has made an undertaking not to dispose of the net shares for a period of 5 years from the grant date of 18 July 2017.
