Vanquis Banking Group plc ("the Company")

Director/PDMR Transaction - Initial Notification

 

The Company announces that it has granted the following awards on 7 April 2026
 over the Company's ordinary shares of 20 8/11p ("Shares") as follows:

 

1.    nil-cost options over 646,976 and 367,879 Shares for no consideration
to Ian McLaughlin and David Watts respectively, who are directors/persons
discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs") in the Company, under the 2020
Restricted Share Plan (the "RSP Options")

2.    awards over 95,595 and 60,434 Shares to Ian McLaughlin and David
Watts respectively, who are directors and PDMRs in the Company, under the
Deferred Bonus Plan 2022 (the "DBP Awards").

 

The number of ordinary shares awarded under the RSP Options and DBP Awards is
based on the average closing share price on the London Stock Exchange between
27 March 2026 and 2 April 2026 of £1.1376. No adjustments have been made to
the grant value of the awards. A further assessment will be made at the point
of vest as part of the RSP performance underpin. There has been no additional
discount from the price at grant to reflect the absence of dividend
equivalents during the vesting period and no market value options linked to
the RSP Options have been granted under the 2020 Restricted Share Plan (CSOP
Options).

In respect of the DBP Awards, JTC Trust Company (CI) Limited, will transfer
the beneficial interest to the participants, including the PDMRs, in
satisfaction of the DBP Awards granted subject to and in accordance with the
terms of the Deferred Bonus Plan 2022.
