EMIS GROUP PLC

Director Dealings - Award of Share Options

EMIS Group plc ("the Company") announces that, on 20 June 2022, awards of options over 46,688 and 20,614 ordinary shares of one pence each in the Company were made to Andy Thorburn (Chief Executive Officer) and Peter Southby (Chief Financial Officer) respectively under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ("Options"). The terms of these awards were previously disclosed to shareholders in the Company's 2021 Annual Report and Accounts, however the grant of the awards to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and certain other senior executives was delayed due to a closed period connected to Bordeaux UK Holdings II Limited's offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company which was announced on 17 June 2022 ("the Offer").  Awards to employees not subject to this closed period were made as normal in April 2022.  The Options are nil-cost and normally exercisable from 8 April 2025, subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions disclosed in the Company's 2021 Annual Report and Accounts (the impact of the Offer on the Options will be set out in the Scheme Document and letters to optionholders).

Following the grant of the Options, Andy Thorburn holds a total of 334,099 options and Peter Southby holds a total of 138,375 options over ordinary shares in the Company.
