BREEDON GROUP plc
(the Company)
Notification of transactions by Directors/Persons Discharging Managerial
Responsibilities (PDMR) and Persons Closely Associated with them (PCA)
The Company has been notified that:
1. on 26 August 2025, Abicad Holding Limited (Abicad), a PCA of Amit
Bhatia, Non-executive Chair of Breedon Group plc (Company) and PDMR, has
acquired 150,000 ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the Company (Shares) at the
price of 392.745 pence per Share upon the exercise of the first tranche of the
option agreements entered into on 27 November 2024 (and notified to the market
on 2 December 2024) (the Option Agreements); and
2. on 27 August 2025, Abicad acquired a further 150,000 Shares at the
price of 392.745 pence per Share upon the exercise of the second tranche of
the Option Agreements.
Under the Option Agreements the relevant option tranche is automatically
exercised and the relevant Shares are acquired if the closing price of a
Breedon ordinary share is below or equal to the relevant exercise price for
that tranche on the option expiration date.
Following the exercise of the first two tranches of the Option Agreements,
Abicad currently holds 65,854,894 Shares, equating to approximately 19.00% of
the Company's total issued share capital (at today's date). If all of the
Shares are acquired under the remaining tranches of the Option Agreements and
Abicad does not dispose of any of its existing interests in the Shares, Abicad
would have an aggregate interest in 67,054,894 Shares, equating to
approximately 19.35% of the Company's total issued share capital (at today's
date).
The acquisitions of the Shares described above, and any potential future
acquisitions represent a continuation of Abicad's previously announced
intention to make market purchases of the Shares over time.
This notification is made in accordance with the requirements of Article 19 of
the UK Market Abuse Regulation.
