DIRECTOR/PDMR SHAREHOLDINGS

Increases in Director Shareholdings

The Company announces that on, 27 April 2020, Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs") increased their shareholdings pursuant to the vesting and exercise of share awards ("Awards") under the Company's Deferred Share Bonus Plan 2014 ("DSBP") over ordinary shares of GBP0.05 each in the Company ("Shares"), as set out in the table below. The Awards were originally granted in 2018 to vest after two years in respect of a proportion of the performance related annual bonus earned in the 2017 financial year.

The Board has determined that, in this instance, it serves the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, with the agreement of the PDMRs, to deliver only the net number of Shares after deducting the number of Shares that otherwise would be sold in the market to settle the tax liabilities associated with the settlement of these Awards. Therefore, no Shares will be sold, as the associated tax liabilities will be settled by the Company, and the PDMRs are retaining the net shares received. The shares being delivered to the PDMRs are from those held by the Pharos employee benefit trust to satisfy such awards. There is therefore no increase in the issued share capital of the Company as a result of the vesting and exercise of these awards.
