Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMRs)

On 16 July 2018 Gavin Rochussen, John Mansell and Iain Evans were granted awards under the Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), as part of the Company's Equity Incentive Plan. Details of the original grant are contained in RNS No. 7916U.

The terms of the LTIP award provide for vesting in equal tranches on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of grant, subject to continued employment and the achievement of an EPS performance condition by reference to the adjusted diluted total EPS for the year ended 31 March 2021.

The third anniversary of this award was on 16 July 2021.

The adjusted diluted total EPS for the 2020/21 financial year was 62.2p and as this exceeded the stretch target of 49p, the awards will vest in full.

A holding period will apply to the first two tranches of the awards, thereby creating a five year gap between the grant of the award and potential release or sale of any shares, except any sales required to cover tax and national insurance liabilities.

The following table provides details of the vesting of the awards:

On each vesting date there will be a sale of sufficient shares to cover tax liabilities and the remaining shares will be retained under the holding period. These awards have been satisfied by the release of shares from the Employee Benefit Trust to the participants, who have established nominee accounts with the EBT for the retention of the shares during the holding period.

Details of the first vesting and sale of shares for each PDMR is provided below:
