PDMR Notifications

PureTech Health plc (Nasdaq: PRTC, LSE: PRTC) ("PureTech" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company dedicated to discovering, developing and commercializing highly differentiated medicines for devastating diseases, announces that awards of restricted share units ("RSUs") granted by PureTech on 15 June 2018  to certain directors and other persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") pursuant to its Performance Share Plan ("PSP")  vested in full on 15 February 2021 following satisfaction of all of the performance conditions measured over the three year period to 31 December 2020. 

Bharatt Chowrira received vested ordinary shares (after deduction of shares for payroll taxes). The Company's Remuneration Committee exercised its discretion in accordance with the Company's remuneration policy and the rules of the PSP and cash settled the vested ordinary shares of Daphne Zohar, Joseph Bolen, and Eric Elenko in full, resulting in those PDMRs receiving cash (after deduction of payroll taxes) instead of ordinary shares in the Company.

The market price per ordinary share in the Company used to calculate the amount payable to the PDMRs and the amount of shares to be issued to PDMRs was 387 pence, being the average closing price of the Company's shares over the three trading day period immediately preceding the settlement, and the exchange rate used to calculate the cash payment and amount of share settlement was £1:$1.417133.

The Company's total issued ordinary share capital is 286,431,217 shares after the share issuance to Bharatt Chowrira and other share issuances to non PDMR employees.
