It was confirmed on 22 June 2015 that on 19 June 2015 the following awards under the Marks and Spencer Group Deferred Share Bonus Plan were made to the following PDMRs of the Company:

Note: The above awards were made under the Company's Annual Bonus Scheme for 2014/15. This required executive directors to defer 50% of their bonus earned into shares in the Deferred Share Bonus Plan. This award was granted as a nil cost option, where a participant will normally be entitled to exercise their award and receive free shares between the third and tenth anniversary of grant 2. There will be no match paid against these deferred shares, although the value of dividends accrued, in the form of dividend equivalents will be paid at the end of the period (third anniversary). No price is payable on the exercise of the award. For the purposes of this calculation, the grant was made at a share price of £5.483

The Annual Bonus Scheme is designed to focus and reward executives for specific operational improvements which will drive the Company's performance. The targets for the Company are determined annually by the Remuneration Committee and for 2014/15 incorporated a mixture of group profit before tax, and individual performance.

2 Patrick Bosquet-Chavanne award is structured as conditional shares which vest on the third anniversary of grant.
