Chesnara today announces that the following PDMR has exercised options over 99,044 ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") as a result of the vesting of the awards made under the 2014 Chesnara Long Term Incentive Scheme.  Of these, 47,960 Ordinary Shares were sold to cover liability to tax and national insurance contributions arising on vesting, with the balance being retained.  The allotment of the 99,044 Ordinary Shares has been satisfied via the Group's existing block listing arrangements.
