 FOR RELEASE ON  23 April 2026

 

IP Group plc - Employee Share Schemes; Director/PDMR shareholding

 

IP Group plc (LSE: IPO) ("IP Group" or "the Group" or "the Company"),
which invests in breakthrough science and innovation companies with the
potential to create a better future for all, announces the following in
connection with its employee share schemes.

 

Release of Deferred Bonus Awards

 

On 22 April 2026, the Group's executive directors and one other person
discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMR") received a total of 168,957
ordinary shares of two pence each ("Shares"), resulting from the release of
Deferred Bonus Awards granted in relation to the partial deferral of annual
bonuses for the 2023 and 2024 financial years.

 

The delivery of the awards was satisfied through the transfer of Shares from
the Company's employee benefit trust (the "EBT"), with the balance being
settled by cash payments in an amount sufficient to meet the relevant
individuals' income and other tax liabilities in accordance with the rules of
the IP Group Share Plan ("Share Plan").

The Shares transferred to the Group's executive directors will be held by the
EBT on behalf of, and as nominee for, the executive directors in order to
facilitate the application of the Group's Post Cessation Shareholding Policy.
