On 28 March 2019, awards over shares were made under the Drax Group plc Deferred Share Plan ("DSP") and performance share awards made under the Drax Group plc Performance Share Plan ("PSP").

The performance awards, made for nil consideration under the PSP, are conditional awards for PDMRs. Vesting of the performance award shares is normally deferred for three years and subject to the satisfaction of certain performance conditions and to the participant remaining in employment until the vesting date.
