The Sage Group plc. ("Sage")
Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities
This notification relates to transactions notified in accordance with Article 19 of the UK Market Abuse Regulation.
Sage announces that on 16 June 2023 it granted options (the "Options") over a total of 1,579,315 ordinary shares of 14/77 pence each to 2,088 employees, pursuant to the rules of The Sage Save and Share Plan (the "Plan").
The invitation to join the Plan was made available to all eligible employees of Sage in countries participating in the Plan in 2023, who were employed on or before 10 May 2023. Employees are limited to a maximum saving of £500 per month (or equivalent in local currency) over the period of the Plan. The grant of Options amounts to 0.1435% of Sage's issued share capital as at 16 June 2023. The exercise of Options on maturity is not dependent upon performance criteria.
The Options for UK participants are exercisable between 1 August 2026 and 31 January 2027 with the exercise price set at a 20% discount to the average middle market quotation of the three dealing days prior to the launch of the Plan on 23 May 2023 and is £6.90 pence per ordinary share.
