Notification of PDMR Interests
Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") - 2017 Time-Vesting
Release
In 2001, the Company established the Pearson Long-Term Incentive
Plan (the "LTIP"). Its purpose is to link management's long-term
reward with Pearson's financial performance and returns to
shareholders.
Under the terms of the LTIP Time-Vesting Plan, all shares are
released to participants on the vesting date, providing that the
participant is still employed by the Company.
The following table sets out the number of shares released to
Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility (PDMR) on 8 May 2017
and notified to the Company on 8 May 2017. The LTIP rules require
that sufficient shares are sold to discharge the tax liability
arising on the shares released. The shares set out in the third
column below were sold on 8 May 2017 at the price shown, with the
number of shares/American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) set out in the
fifth column below being allotted to and retained by the PDMR
