PDMR Announcement

K3 Business Technology Group plc received notification on 28 May 2021 from Kestrel Partners LLP ("Kestrel") that following an agreement by Kestrel to transfer its Inheritance Tax Solutions business ("KITS") to a third party, it will cease to have management control over 347,279 ordinary shares of 25p each in the Company ("Shares"). Kestrel will therefore no longer include these shares in any future notifications of its interests. In addition, it acquired, on behalf of its discretionary clients, 1,500 Shares at a price of £1.90 per share. The notification also included the matters set out below.

Mr Scott, a non-executive director of K3, is a partner of, and holds a beneficial interest in Kestrel. Mr Scott is also a shareholder in one of Kestrel's clients ("Kestrel Opportunities") and is therefore deemed to have a beneficial interest in Kestrel Opportunities' entire legal holding in K3 Business Technology Group plc.

Following these transactions, Kestrel Opportunities holds (and consequently Mr Scott is deemed to have a beneficial interest in) 8,493,379 Shares in the Company, and other clients of Kestrel, in which Mr Scott has no beneficial interest hold 2,438,080 Shares in the Company.

On a combined basis, Kestrel indirectly holds voting rights over 10,931,459 Shares in the Company, which represents 24.44% per cent of the Company's issued share capital.
