Kier Group plc ("Kier" and the "Company") announces that:

i)      on 28 October 2024, beneficial interests in the ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Shares") were allocated to persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") in connection with the Company's bonus arrangements for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 (the "Deferred Bonus 24");

ii)     on 28 October 2024, certain PDMRs were allocated Shares, as a result of the vesting of awards made to them in October 2021, and, in the case of Mr Bradshaw, also of awards made to him in April 2022 on the same terms as the awards made in October 2021, under the Kier Group plc 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP Vesting");  

iii)    on 29 October 2024, Shares held on trust in connection with the Company's bonus arrangements for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (the "Deferred Bonus 21") were released to certain PDMRs. Prior to their release, legal title to the shares was held by the Trustee of the Kier Group 1999 Employee Benefit Trust (the "Trustee"); and

iv)    on 29 October 2024, grants of options for Shares ("Sharesave Options") were made to certain PDMRs and persons closely associated with them ("PCAs") under the Kier Group plc Sharesave Scheme 2016 (the "Sharesave Scheme"). The three-year savings contract will commence on 1 December 2024 and the share price applicable to the options is £1.11 per Share.
