Grant of performance share awards

Springfield Properties plc (AIM: SPR), a leading housebuilder in Scotland offering private and affordable housing, announces that, on 30 October 2020, the Company granted awards over ordinary shares of 0.125 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Awards") to certain PDMRs, pursuant to the Company's Performance Share Plan (the "PSP") that was originally established in January 2020.  Details of these Awards are set out below:

Name	Role	No. of Shares over which Awards granted
Innes Smith	Chief Executive Officer	202,000
Michelle Motion	Finance Director	107,650

No consideration was paid for the grant of the Awards, which have been structured as "nominal cost" options.

The Awards will normally vest on the third anniversary of grant but only if, and to the extent that, certain performance conditions are satisfied. These conditions (which have been set by the Remuneration Committee of the Company and will be assessed over a total of three financial years) relate to the achievement of specified targets applicable to earnings per share (75% weighting) and the Company's net debt / EBITDA ratio (25% weighting). Vesting will also normally be dependent on the continued employment of the participant within the Company's group.

Once the Awards have vested, they will generally be available to be exercised until the tenth anniversary of their original grant.  On any such exercise, additional "dividend equivalent" entitlements may also be paid to the relevant individuals.

Further information about the overall structure of the PSP was included in the Company's annual report and financial statements for the financial year ended 31 May 2020.
