Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMRs")

The Corporation announced on 17 April 2020 that shares had been purchased by a subsidiary undertaking to reinvest dividends received from shares held in trust under a Deferred Share Bonus Plan for senior staff.  The following transactions in the Company's Ordinary 5p shares were undertaken by directors / persons discharging managerial responsibility ('PDMRs') as a result of this dividend reinvestment.

In line with the Corporation's Remuneration Policy in place during the year to 31 December 2019, a third of the bonus earned by the Executive Directors was required to be deferred for three years.  In accordance with that policy, 16,278 shares for Denis Jackson and 11,637 shares for Katie Thorpe were granted under the Deferred Share Bonus Plan on 13 March 2020 at an average price of 587.19 pence per share.  As set out in the Corporation's Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders on 7 April 2020, in future half of any bonus earned by the Executive Directors above £100,000 will be deferred in shares for three years with enhanced malus and clawback provisions applying. 

The shares are held in trust and no consideration is payable on the grant or vesting of the award.  The number of shares to which each award relates is increased by the reinvestment of dividends due on the shares held in trust.
