Severn Trent Plc (the "Company") - Notification of Transactions of Directors/Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility and their Closely Associated Persons
This notification is made in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation.
Vesting of Shares under the Long Term Incentive Plan 2014 ("LTIP")
On 26 July 2022, the following Directors and PDMRs received a transfer of Shares from the Company (which it held as treasury shares) for nil consideration on the vesting of awards made under the LTIP in 2019, and subsequently sold Shares in order to cover tax liabilities:
| Director / PDMR (date of award) | Number of conditional shares awarded | Number of shares released to PDMR*
| Number of shares sold to cover tax liability | Price at which shares sold | Net number of shares acquired |
| O Garfield Director (23.07.19) | 69,411 | 77,550 | 37,222 | 2912.7827p | 40,328 |
| J Bowling Director (23.07.19) | 31,367 | 35,043 | 16,820 | 2912.7827p | 18,223 |
| S Anderson PDMR (23.07.19) | 2,463 | 2,749 | 1,320 | 2912.7827p | 1,429 |
| J Jesic PDMR (23.07.19) | 7,843 | 8,759 | 4,205 | 2912.7827p | 4,554 |

| H Miles PDMR (23.07.19) | 16,460 | 18,387 | 8,826 | 2912.7827p | 9,561 |
| N Morrison PDMR (23.07.19) | 9,400 | 10,499 | 5,040 | 2912.7827p | 5,459 |
| R Stear PDMR (23.07.19) | 6,004 | 6,705 | 3,219 | 2912.7827p | 3,486 |
*The number of shares released includes additional shares calculated to reflect dividends declared during the period from grant until vesting, in accordance with the LTIP rules.
The 2019 LTIP award made under the 2018 Remuneration Policy introduced a stretch award comparative element to Return on Regulatory Equity ('RoRE'), measured by Upper Quartile ('UQ') comparison against other Water and Sewerage Companies ('WaSCs'). As all WaSCs have now published their Annual Performance Reports, it has been determined that Severn Trent's three-year average RoRE during the performance period was UQ, meaning awards vested in full at 100%.
Notifications set out below, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, give further detail.
