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 UK Market Abuse Regulation.
Vesting of Shares under the Long Term Incentive Plan 2021 ("LTIP")
On 25 July 2025, 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 2022, and subsequently sold Shares in order to cover tax and national insurance 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 (08.06.22) | 52,951 | 59,973 | 28,287 | 2673.41p | 31,686 |
H Miles Director (08.06.22) | 15,102 | 17,103 | 8,067 | 2673.41p | 9,036 |
S Anderson PDMR (08.06.22) | 10,467 | 11,853 | 5,591 | 2673.41p | 6,262 |
J Burditt PDMR (08.06.22) | 6,106 | 6,914 | 3,262 | 2673.41p | 3,652 |
S Cawley PDMR (08.06.22) | 1,772 | 2,003 | 945 | 2673.41p | 1,058 |
J Jesic PDMR (08.06.22) | 12,561 | 14,224 | 6,709 | 2673.41p | 7,515 |
N Morrison PDMR (08.06.22) | 11,304 | 12,801 | 6,038 | 2673.41p | 6,763 |
R Stear PDMR (08.06.22) | 6,280 | 7,110 | 3,354 | 2673.41p | 3,756 |
\* 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 2022 LTIP award made under the 2021 Remuneration Policy included 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%.
The Company wishes to announce in accordance with DTR 3.1 and Article 19 of the UK Market Abuse Regulation the following notifications by persons discharging managerial responsibility.
