Notification of Transactions of Directors and PDMRs

Xaar plc (the "Company") announces that the Directors and Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMR") listed below were granted awards on 6 May 2025 over ordinary 10 pence shares in the Company ("Shares") under the Company's 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan.

Name of Director/PDMR	Number of Shares awarded
John Mills (Executive Director)	612,791
Paul James (Executive Director)	373,878
Graham Tweedale (PDMR)	166,151

The price used to calculate the number of Shares awarded above was £1.003 per Share, this being the Company's average closing share price over the two business days from 1 May 2025 to 2 May 2025 inclusive.

The awards have been granted subject to performance conditions. Adjusted aPBT, Revenue and relative TSR performance will be used to measure performance over a three-year period to 31 December 2027 with a further two-year holding period following the end of the performance period (for the executive directors). As for 2024, given the turnaround position of the Company, the Board considers the aPBT and Revenue performance targets for the LTIP awards to be granted in 2025 to be commercially sensitive information at this time but, as in past years, will fully disclose the exact measurements retrospectively. The TSR performance condition will be the same as for the awards granted in 2024, as set out in the 2024 Annual Report.

The FCA notification, made in accordance with the requirements of the UK Market Abuse Regulation is appended below and gives further details on the transactions described above. 

This notification is made in accordance with DTR 3.1.4 R(1).
