Persimmon Plc (the "Company")

Director/PDMR Shareholding

Jason Windsor commenced his role as Chief Financial Officer of the Company on 11 July 2022.

As reported in Persimmon's Directors' Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2021, in line with usual practice the Remuneration Committee agreed that, in recognition of Jason's forfeiture of remuneration on leaving his former employer, he would be granted buy-out awards. As previously disclosed these have been calculated to match and not exceed the value forfeited. Information in relation to the principles applied in agreeing the buy-out awards is included in that Directors' Remuneration Report. In line with the vesting schedule of the forfeited awards, certain of the buy-out awards vested immediately. Half of Jason's forfeited annual bonus for 2021 was satisfied by the grant of a buy-out award as set out below. The remaining 50% of that forfeited bonus was paid in cash, but with half of that cash amount (net of income tax and national insurance) to be used to purchase 6,191 shares in Persimmon on 11 July 2022.

The buy-out awards granted in shares on 11 July 2022 are summarised below.
