Director/PDMR Shareholding

Marks and Spencer Group plc (the 'Company') announces that on 5 July 2022 it was notified of the following transactions in the Company's Ordinary 1p shares undertaken by directors / persons discharging managerial responsibility ('PDMRs').

1. Performance Share Plan Award 2022/23

The Performance Share Plan ('PSP') continues to be the Company's primary long-term incentive plan for executives. As a result, awards under the PSP were made on 5 July 2022 to five PDMRs of the Company.

These awards were granted as conditional shares, the vesting of which is subject to the continued employment of the participant and satisfaction of certain performance conditions, as disclosed in the Company's 2022 Annual Report published on 7 June 2022. Specifically, the vesting of the award will depend on relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR), the Company's Earnings Per Share (EPS), Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and strategic measures over a fixed three-year performance period starting on the first day of the financial year in which the award was granted.

On vesting, the award is subject to an additional, mandatory two-year holding period, making a total period of five years post grant. The value of dividends accrued, in the form of dividend equivalents, will be paid at the end of the period (third anniversary) based on the number of vested shares. No consideration was paid for the grant of the award. For the purposes of this award, the five-day average share price immediately preceding the date of grant of GBP1.3961 was used.

2. Deferred Share Bonus Plan Award 2021/22

As reported within the Company's 2022 Annual Report, a bonus is being paid to all eligible colleagues under the Company's Annual Bonus Scheme for 2021/22. Individuals were required to defer 50% of their bonus earned into shares under the Marks and Spencer Group Deferred Share Bonus Plan ('DSBP'). As a result, awards under the DSBP were made to the same five PDMRs of the Company on 5 July 2022.

These awards were granted as conditional share awards vesting three years from the date of grant. The value of dividends accrued, in the form of dividend equivalents, will be paid at the point of vesting. No consideration was paid for the grant of the award. For the purposes of this award, the five-day average share price immediately preceding the date of grant of GBP1.3961 was used.
