SAVILLS PLC (THE "COMPANY")
TRANSACTION IN SHARES BY DIRECTORS AND PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Buy-out award for incoming Group Chief Financial Officer
The Company announces that on 21 May 2026 it granted the following share awards (the "Awards") to Nick Sanderson to replace awards forfeited by him when he left his previous employer, Great Portland Estates plc ("GPE") to take up his appointment as the Company's Group Chief Financial Officer, which role he assumed on 9 February 2026 (the "Commencement Date"). The Awards were granted under the Savills Deferred Share Bonus Plan.
Level and purpose of Award
As above, the Savills Awards have been granted to replace deferred share bonus plan awards forfeited by Mr Sanderson when he left GPE, and are consistent with Savills Directors' Remuneration Policy and are as disclosed in the Directors' Remuneration Report in the 2025 Savills plc Report & Accounts.
The foregone deferred share bonus plan awards comprised three nil cost options to acquire GPE ordinary shares, each with a deferral period of three years and a further deferred share bonus plan award to be granted May / June 2026 to reflect personal and measured GPE corporate performance for the 2025/26 financial year.
The value and number of shares subject to the Awards has been calculated respectively using the share prices of the Company and GPE on the Commencement Date, as adjusted to reflect the Company's share price on the London Stock Exchange Dealing Day preceding the date of grant.
These Awards will vest on the earlier of the originally timetabled vesting date of the forfeited GPE awards or the third anniversary of grant and are subject to rolled-up dividend shares whereby the number of shares awarded will be increased during the Deferred Period to reflect final and interim dividends declared during the deferred period.
