On 1 April 2022, the following awards were granted over the Company's Ordinary £0.01 shares under The Foxtons Group plc 2020 Restricted Share Plan ("RSP") to certain directors / persons discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs") of the Company.

No consideration was paid for the grant of the RSP Awards which are structured as nil cost options. The number of Ordinary Shares granted under each RSP Award has been calculated using an Ordinary Share price of 41.7 pence per share being the average of the closing share prices over the three Dealing Days preceding the date of grant.
The normal vesting date of the RSP Awards will be 1 April 2025, being the third anniversary of the award date. Once vested, the RSP Awards will normally be exercisable until the day before the tenth anniversary of the award date. The RSP Awards are subject to a two-year holding period commencing on vesting.
The RSP Awards will ordinarily vest after three years subject to the grantee's continued service and a discretionary underpin that allows the Remuneration Committee to make adjustments to the level of vesting if the Committee believes due to business performance, individual performance or wider Company considerations that the vesting should be adjusted.
