Paragon Banking Group PLC:

Director Shareholding

On 8 December 2017, Paragon Banking Group PLC (the "Company") granted awards over the Company's Ordinary Shares of £1.00 each to the following directors under the Paragon Performance Share Plan 2013 ("PPSP") and under the Paragon Deferred Share Bonus Plan 2013 ("PDSBP") in respect of bonuses for the year ended 30 September 2017. 

Director	Role	Number of shares awarded under PPSP	Number of shares awarded under PDSBP
N S Terrington	Chief Executive	205,192	42,055
R J Woodman	Chief Financial Officer	129,227	25,517
J A Heron	Managing Director - Mortgages	109,401	19,217

No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards, which have been structured as nil-cost options. 

On the same date, each participant was granted a tax qualifying option ("CSOP Option") as part of the above PPSP award over 6,279 shares at a per share exercise price of £4.7776.  Each CSOP Option is subject to performance targets that apply to the nil-cost option part of the awards.  If a CSOP Option is exercised at a gain, the number of shares that may be delivered under the above associated nil-cost option will be reduced at exercise by the same value to ensure that the total pre-tax value is not increased by the grant of the CSOP Option.

The awards will normally vest on the third anniversary of grant, subject, in the case of the PPSP awards and CSOP Options, to the satisfaction of the applicable performance conditions, and will, ordinarily, remain exercisable until the day before the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.
