TRANSACTIONS BY PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

XPS announces that, on 18 September 2019, Ben Bramhall (Co-Chief Executive Officer), Paul Cuff (Co-Chief Executive Officer), Snehal Shah (Chief Financial Officer) and Jonathan Bernstein (Chief Operating Officer), all persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs"), were granted awards under the Company's Performance Share Plan ("PSP") as set out below.

The value of the awards was calculated by reference to the price of an ordinary share on 17 September 2019, being GBP1.15. The awards were made in the form of nominal-cost options which will generally become exercisable on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the satisfaction of the following performance targets: (1) 50% of the awards vests subject to an Earnings Per Share (EPS) growth target whereby 25% vests for compounded annual growth (CAG) of 3% above CPI and 100% vests for CAG of 7% above CPI (with vesting on a straight-line basis for performance between 3% and 7% CAG and no vesting for performance below 3% CAG); and (2) 50% of the awards vests subject to a relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) target whereby 25% vests for median ranking and 100% vests for upper quartile ranking (with vesting on a straight-line basis for performance between median and upper quartile ranking and no vesting for a ranking below median).

Once vested, the options will be exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, unless the exercise period is shortened in accordance with the PSP rules.

Further details are set out in the below notification, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
