LTIP Option Awards

On 3 November 2016, awards over ordinary shares of 50 pence each in Sportech PLC (the "Company") were made to certain Directors and other persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMR") as follows. 

The awards were approved by the Remuneration Committee, under the Company's annual award cycle, in respect of 2016. These awards are usually granted in March of each year, but have been deferred until now, because of certain ongoing anticipated corporate activity which ceased on 1 November 2016.

Name of Director/PDMR	No. of Shares under the Award	Structure of Award	Exerciseable
Ian Penrose	607,636	Nil Cost Option	On third anniversary subject to continuing employment, total shareholder return and other financial performance criteria
Mickey Kalifa	290,135	Nil Cost Option
Luisa Wright	153,191	Nil Cost Option

The awards were granted under the rules of the Sportech Performance Share Plan and structured as noted above. No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards and no consideration is due on the maturity of the awards. The awards will normally become exercisable (or vest as relevant) shortly following the third anniversary of grant, subject to continued employment and to the extent the total shareholder return and financial performance conditions are achieved. Once vested, the awards structured as nil cost options shall ordinarily remain exercisable for a period of 12 months.

This notification is being made in accordance with DTR 3.1.4.
