LSL Property Services plc ("LSL")

NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF DIRECTORS, PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY ("PDMRs") OR CONNECTED PERSONS

In accordance with DTR 3, LSL was notified on 7 November 2023 that awards were, on 7 November 2023, granted to Directors and PDMRs pursuant to LSL's Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") as follows:

 
Name of Director/PDMR                   Number of LSL Property Services 
                                         plc ordinary shares of 0.2p 
                                         each awarded 
David Stewart, Group Chief Executive 
 Officer                                            194,613 
Adam Castleton, Group Chief Financial 
 Officer                                            131,402 
Steve Goodall, Managing Director 
 e.surv (PDMR)                                      46,036 
Paul Hardy, Managing Director Estate 
 Agency (PDMR)                                      40,650 
 

The LTIP awards are nil-cost options that will normally become exercisable on 29(th) March 2026 for PDMRs and 6(th) November 2026 for the Executive Directors, subject to continuous employment and satisfaction of the performance conditions detailed in the table below.

Executive Director LTIP awards

In the Directors' Remuneration Report ("DRR") included in the Annual Report and Accounts 2022, we explained that during 2023 we would operate an LTIP for the Executive Directors that was broadly similar to that operated in 2022. We also stated that we intended to grant an award of 125% of basic salary to the Executive Directors.

We normally grant our LTIP awards following the announcement of our preliminary results, however, due to the impact of UK MAR around financial reporting and the progression of a number of strategic projects, we were unable to grant the awards in accordance with our normal timetable and therefore the grant of the 2023 LTIP awards has been delayed and are now being granted.

Considering the delay in granting the awards, the Remuneration Committee has reviewed the adjusted EPS target range taking into account the change in economic outlook and market expectations since the beginning of the year. As a result, the Remuneration Committee has set an adjusted EPS target range for this grant that is lower than the range set out in the 2022 DRR.

Noting the lower target range and taking into account the share price determining the number of shares subject to the 2023 award compared to the 2022 award, the LTIP award level for the Executive Directors is reduced from the normal award level of 125% of salary to 100% of salary.

Further details relating to the awards will be included in the DRR to be included in the Annual Report and Accounts 2023 which will be published in 2024.
