Notification of Transactions of Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMR)

 

The notification set out below is provided under Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulation ('MAR').

On 1 May 2026 (the 'Grant Date'), the Company granted to Jason Windsor, Chief Executive Officer, and Siobhan Boylan, Chief Financial Officer, Awards in the form of conditional awards to acquire ordinary shares in the Company, under the terms of the Company's Executive Long Term Incentive Plan (the 'LTIP Plan').

Executive Directors
Number of Shares awarded under the LTIP Plan
Jason Windsor
1,007,484
Siobhan Boylan
356,217

The detail of the performance conditions for the performance shares element of the Awards, and the underpin for the restricted shares element of the Awards, are set out in the table below.

Performance shares element
Restricted shares element
Performance condition
Target range1
Underpin
Net Capital Generation per share (50% weighting)
5% - 15% CAGR
As set out on page 112 of the Company's annual report and accounts 2025
Relative TSR (50% weighting)2
Equal to median - equal to upper quartile

1 Straight line vesting occurs between threshold and maximum. 25% vesting for threshold performance.

2 Relative TSR measured against the FTSE 350 Index.

Following engagement with shareholders in recent weeks, the Company's Remuneration Committee has revised the implementation of the performance shares element of the Awards to incorporate Relative TSR at a 50% weighting. Consequently, the Net Capital Generation per share measure reduces to 50% weighting of the performance shares element of the Awards.

The Awards will normally vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, only to the extent that the performance conditions for the performance shares element, and the underpin for the restricted shares element, have been met and in accordance with, and subject to, the rules of the LTIP Plan. Vested awards are subject to a holding period to the end of the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date.  

No consideration is payable on the grant or vesting of any of the Awards set out above. The number of shares to which each Award relates will be increased by an additional number of shares equal in value to any dividends that would have been paid on all the shares in respect of which the Award is released, over the period from the Grant Date to the release date.
