Notification of transactions by

Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMRs)

 

On 31 July 2018, Land Securities Group PLC (Landsec or the Company) was notified of the following transactions in its ordinary shares of 10 2/3p each (Shares) by PDMRs (who are all Executive Directors).

 

On 27 July 2018, Robert Noel and Martin Greenslade became entitled to the dividend equivalents as set out below taken as Nil Cost Options (Options) pursuant to the Options granted under the Land Securities 2015 Deferred Share Bonus Plans (2015 DSB) on 27 June 2016 and 26 June 2017 following their vesting on 26 and 27 June 2018, being accrued within the 2015 DSB on the dividend record date and calculated at the dividend payment date.  The dividend equivalents are in respect of the final dividend for the 2017/18 financial year which was paid to shareholders on 27 July 2018.

On 27 July 2018, Robert Noel, Martin Greenslade, Colette O'Shea and Scott Parsons, all received dividend equivalents taken as Options in relation to awards made under the Land Securities' 2009 Deferred Share Bonus Plan (2009 DSB) and the 2015 DSB as set out below, where dividend equivalents that had previously been awarded for these DSB awards had not reflected the final dividend adjustment for each year and therefore this is now being corrected.

 

On 31 July 2018, Robert Noel and Martin Greenslade exercised all outstanding options under the 2015 DSB and 2009 DBS as detailed below.
