Share Awards and Director/PDMR Dealing

YouGov, the international market research and data analytics group, announces that the Board's Remuneration Committee has approved the grant of options under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP 2014") which was established during the financial year ended 31 July 2014.

On 3 April 2018 Sundip Chahal and Alex McIntosh were each granted a nil cost option to acquire Ordinary Shares of 0.2p each in the Company under the LTIP 2014 ("Additional LTIP Awards").

The Additional LTIP Awards reflect the participants' increased roles and responsibilities following their promotion to the Board, over the final two years of the five year performance period ending 31 July 2019. The vesting of the Additional LTIP Awards is subject to the same demanding performance conditions as the original LTIP 2014 awards.

Details of the Additional LTIP Awards are set out in the table below.

Name	Number of shares subject to the Additional LTIP Award
Alex McIntosh	191,291
Sundip Chahal	204,748
