Grant of Awards under The Foxtons Group plc 2020 Restricted Share Plan

Notification and public disclosure of transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs") and persons closely associated with them

On 1 April 2022, the following awards were granted over the Company's Ordinary £0.01 shares under The Foxtons Group plc 2020 Restricted Share Plan ("RSP") to certain directors / persons discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs") of the Company. These Awards are in respect of the annual Restricted Share Plan grant as set out in the Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders and are after the Remuneration Committee used its discretion to apply a 25% reduction in view of the change in share price since the 2021 grant.

Name	Status	Number of Ordinary Shares under RSP Award	Option Price
Nic Budden	Chief Executive Officer	1,042,446	£Nil
Chris Hough	Chief Financial Officer	337,230	£Nil

No consideration was paid for the grant of the RSP Awards which are structured as nil cost options. The number of Ordinary Shares granted under each RSP Award has been calculated using an Ordinary Share price of 41.7 pence per share being the average of the closing share prices over the three Dealing Days preceding the date of grant.

The normal vesting date of the RSP Awards will be 1 April 2025, being the third anniversary of the award date. Once vested, the RSP Awards will normally be exercisable until the day before the tenth anniversary of the award date. The RSP Awards are subject to a two-year holding period commencing on vesting.

The RSP Awards will ordinarily vest after three years subject to the grantee's continued service and a discretionary underpin that allows the Remuneration Committee to make adjustments to the level of vesting if the Committee believes due to business performance, individual performance or wider Company considerations that the vesting should be adjusted.
