SAGA PLC ("THE COMPANY") - DIRECTOR/PDMR SHAREHOLDING

Pursuant to the notification obligations under article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulation, the Company hereby notifies the following changes in the interests of directors and persons discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs") in Ordinary Shares of 1 pence each in the Company ("Shares") on 1 May 2018.

Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")

On 1 May 2018, the Company granted an award (in the form of nil-cost options) over Shares under the LTIP ("LTIP Award") as set out in column 3 of the table below. The number of Shares subject to the LTIP Award has been determined by reference to the mid-market price of a Share on Monday, 30 April 2018 (135.90 pence per Share).

In addition, the Company has granted market value options under the Company share option plan section of the LTIP ("CSOP options") over the number of Shares set out in column 4 of the table below. The exercise price of each CSOP option is 135.90 pence per Share, being the mid-market price of a Share on Monday 30 April 2018. The number of Shares that is capable of exercise under the LTIP Award will be reduced by such number of Shares as has a market value (at the date of exercise of the linked CSOP option) equal to the gain made on the exercise of the CSOP option. Overall, the participant's pre-tax economic gain from the LTIP Award is the same as if the CSOP option was not in place.
