Share Options and Director/PDMR Dealings

Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV, 'Frontier' or the 'Company'), a leading developer and publisher of videogames based in Cambridge, UK, confirms the vesting outcomes for LTIP (Long Term Incentive Plan) share options over Ordinary Shares of 0.5p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") which were awarded to Executive Directors on 9 October 2020 (the "Share Options").

The Share Options were awarded with a three-year vesting period and they included performance conditions with an element based on share price growth over that period. As a result of the decline in the Company's share price during the vesting period, the performance conditions for the Share Options were not met, resulting in lapses.

The number of Share Options lapsing on 9 October 2023 for each Executive Director is set out below, along with the total number of share options held under all schemes by each Executive Director after the lapses.

Name of Director	Position	Number of LTIP options lapsing on 9 October 2023	Total number of share options held under all schemes following the lapses on 9 October 2023
Jonathan Watts	Chief Executive Officer	9,662	187,012
David Braben	President & Founder	9,662	394,284
Alex Bevis	Chief Financial Officer	9,662	172,830
James Dixon	Chief Operating Officer	892	44,309
