EPE Special Opportunities Limited

Director / PDMR Shareholding

EPE Special Opportunities Limited ( the "Company") announces that it has been notified of the following transactions in the Company's shares of 5 pence each ("Ordinary Shares").

On 12 May 2023, the following jointly owned share awards were granted under the EPE Special Opportunities Limited 2022 Share Matching Plan (the "JOSP") to certain Directors of the Company and certain members of EPIC Investment Partners LLP ("EPIC"), the Investment Advisor to the Company, and their connected parties (being PDMRs of the Company) (the "Participants") as detailed below. The JOSP scheme was approved by shareholders in June 2021.

Under each JOSP award the relevant Participant acquires an interest in fully-paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Jointly Owned Shares"). The Jointly Owned Shares subject to each award are held by the Participant jointly with the trustee of the EPIC Private Equity Employee Benefit Trust (the "Trustee") pursuant to a 2022 Share Matching Plan Joint Ownership Agreement (a "JOSP Agreement") which provides that the Participant holds the interest in the future value of each Jointly Owned Share while the Trustee holds the interest in the current value of the Jointly Owned Shares at the date of the award, subject to the terms and conditions of the JOSP Agreement. The Participants' interests will vest in May 2026 subject to their continued employment with the group.

The number of Ordinary Shares in issue, not held by the Company in treasury, following the award and the figure to be used as the denominator for calculations of interests in the Company's voting rights is unchanged.

The notification of dealing forms for the PDMR can be found below. This announcement is made in accordance with Article 19 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014.

The person responsible for releasing this information on behalf of the Company is Amanda Robinson of Langham Hall Fund Management (Jersey) Limited.
