ONE Savings Bank PLC : Director/PDMR Shareholding

Pursuant to its obligations under Disclosure and Transparency Rule 3.1.4R(1)(a), OneSavings Bank plc (the 'Company') notifies the following changes in the interests in the ordinary shares of 1p each of the Company ('Shares') of the executive directors and other persons discharging managerial responsibilities ('PDMRs') arising from awards granted under the deferred share bonus plan ("DSBP"), and performance share plan ("PSP") on 17 March 2016.  A share price of 253p per share has been applied to determine the number of Shares awarded under each of the plans.

Deferred Share Bonus Plan Awards

The purpose of the DSBP is to facilitate the deferral of all or part of the Senior Leadership Team's annual bonus into Ordinary Shares.  Awards will normally vest three years after grant, provided the participant is still employed in the Company's group. DSBP awards will not be subject to performance conditions.  On vesting, awards in the form of nil (or nominal) options will normally be exercisable up to the tenth anniversary of grant unless they lapse earlier

The following DSBP awards have been granted to the following executive directors and other PDMRs on 17 March 2016 (these grants took place at Reliance House, Sun Pier, Chatham, Kent ME4 4ET):

		Number of DSBP Shares awarded 2016

John Eastgate	25,903
Hasan Kazmi	7,520
Clive Kornitzer	28,586
Richard Wilson	22,411

These DSBP awards vest on 18 March 2019

Performance Share Plan Awards

Any employee of the Company and its subsidiaries will be eligible to participate in the PSP at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee.  Awards will be made to Executive Directors and the Senior Leadership team, based on a mixture of internal financial performance targets and relative Total Shareholder Return.  Any vesting will be subject to an underpin, whereby the Remuneration Committee must be satisfied that the business has operated within the Board's risk appetite framework. This takes into account capital adequacy, liquidity, credit risk, operational risk and conduct & compliance risk.  The performance targets will be measured over three financial years.  Clawback and malus provisions apply and are structured as for the annual bonus.

The following PSP awards have been granted to the following executive directors and other PDMRs on 17 March 2016 (these grants took place at Reliance House, Sun Pier, Chatham, Kent ME4 4ET):
