Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMRs")
The Company announces that awards have been granted under the Safestore 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan ("2020 LTIP"), approved by shareholders at its annual general meeting held on 18 March 2020.
The Company has been notified of the following transactions in the Company's Ordinary shares of 1p each undertaken by directors / persons discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs") on 28 January 2021 in accordance with the rules of the 2020 LTIP.
| Name | Status | Number of Ordinary Shares under LTIP Award | Option Price

| £Nil |
| Andy Jones | Chief Financial Officer | 72,294 | £Nil |
No consideration was paid for the grant of the LTIP Awards which are structured as nil cost options. The number of Ordinary Shares granted under each LTIP Award has been calculated using an Ordinary Share price of 828.5 pence per share, being the closing share price on the dealing day immediately before the date of grant.
The normal vesting date of the LTIP Awards will be 28 January 2024, being the third anniversary of the award date. Once vested, the LTIP Award will normally be exercisable until the day before the tenth anniversary of the award date. The LTIP Awards are subject to a two-year holding period commencing on vesting.
The LTIP Awards will normally vest after 3 years based on the satisfaction of the following performance conditions which are each measured over a 3 year period:
i. Two-thirds based on adjusted diluted EPRA EPS growth: 5% p.a. growth (threshold); 8% p.a. growth (maximum).
ii. One-sixth based on relative TSR against the FTSE 250 excluding Investment Trusts: Median performance (threshold); Upper quartile performance (maximum); and
iii. One-sixth based on relative TSR against the FTSE 350 Super Sector Real Estate: Median performance (threshold); Upper quartile performance (maximum).
25% of the relevant element of the LTIP Award will vest for threshold performance, with straight line vesting in between to full vesting for the achievement of maximum performance.
In addition, no award will vest unless a minimum level of Cash on Cash Return ("CoCR") of 8% p.a. has been met.
The relevant notifications set out below are provided in accordance with the requirements of Article 19 of the UK version of the EU Market Abuse Regulation which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
