("PPHE Hotel Group" or the "Company")

PDMR announcement

PPHE Hotel Group, an international hospitality company which owns and develops hotels and resorts, operates the Park Plaza® brand in EMEA and owns the art'otel® brand, today announces changes to a retention plan so as to avoid potential contraventions with the Dutch NOW scheme.

The Company refers to its announcement of 12 November 2020, in which it announced the approval of grants made under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan which are aimed at long term retention of key employees.  Since this plan was announced, additional guidance has been issued by the relevant Dutch authorities in relation to the Dutch furlough scheme (known as "NOW") which makes it clear that the grant of such long term incentive plan options might contravene the conditions of NOW.

As a result, the relevant key employees have voluntarily agreed to surrender the awards granted under the "2020 Long Term Incentive Plan" announced on 12 November 2020.  The Company will consider what retention arrangements for key employees are appropriate on or after 1 January 2022 (being the expiry of the period to which the relevant restrictions relate).
