Director/PDMR Shareholding

SSE plc (the "Company") - Notification of Transactions of Directors/Persons
Discharging Managerial Responsibilities and their Closely Associated Persons

(i)           Deferred Bonus Scheme (DBS) - Grant of Awards

The Directors/PDMRs listed in the table that follows each received awards over
Ordinary shares of 50 pence each fully paid in the Company under the DBS.
The number of shares under each award has been calculated by reference to a
price of £17.57 per share, being the average of the Company's share price
over the three dealing days immediately preceding the date of grant.

Awards granted under the DBS represent a deferral of a proportion of the cash
bonus earned for the 2021/22 annual incentive year which is converted into
shares.  The shares will vest after a period of three years from the date of
grant subject normally to the participant remaining in employment with the
Company.  On vesting, the participant will become entitled to additional
shares representing the value of reinvested dividends over the three-year
period.

 

Awards granted to Executive Directors will be subject to an additional
post-vesting holding period during which time the Executive Director must
retain the post-tax number of shares vesting under award.

(ii)          Performance Share Plan (PSP) - Grant of Awards

 

The Executive Directors listed in the table that follows were each granted
awards over Ordinary shares of 50 pence each fully paid in the Company under
the PSP.   The number of shares stated is the maximum which will become
available to each Executive Director if the performance targets applicable to
the award are achieved at their upper limit or above.  On vesting, the
Executive Director will become entitled to additional shares representing the
value of reinvested dividends over the performance period.  The number of
shares under each award has been calculated by reference to a price of £17.57
per share, being the average of the Company's share price over the three
dealing days immediately preceding the date of grant.

 

Vesting of these awards will normally only take place if performance
conditions are satisfied over the three-year performance period 1 April 2022
to 31 March 2025.  These performance conditions are those indicated in the
Company's Directors' Remuneration Policy (as set out in the 2022 Annual
Report).

 

Awards granted to Executive Directors will be subject to an additional
post-vesting holding period during which time the Executive Director must
retain the post-tax number of shares vesting under award.

(iii)         Leadership Share Plan (LSP) - Grant of Awards

 

The PDMRs in the table that follows were each granted awards over Ordinary
shares of 50 pence each fully paid in the Company under the LSP.   The
number of shares stated is the number which will become available if the
performance targets applicable to the awards are achieved, although the number
could be increased or reduced by the Company performance adjuster described
below.  On vesting, the PDMRs will become entitled to additional shares
representing the value of reinvested dividends over the performance period.

 

The number of shares under the award has been calculated by reference to a
price of £17.57 per share, being the average of the Company's share price
over the three dealing days immediately preceding the date of grant.

 

Vesting of the award will normally only take place if the performance
conditions are achieved over the three-year performance period 1 April 2022 to
31 March 2025.  In addition, an overall Company performance adjuster,
allowing vesting rates to be adjusted up or down by up to 25% at the
discretion of the Remuneration Committee, may be applied if overall
performance of the Company over the performance period merits such an upward
or downward adjustment.
