Harvey Nash Group plc ("the Company")

Grant of Awards under the Harvey Nash Group plc Performance Share Plan.

On 29 September 2017, the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Harvey Nash Group plc granted awards under the Harvey Nash Group plc Performance Share Plan to the following PDMR of the Company in the form of options with nominal value option price over ordinary shares of 5p each:

 
      Name        Number of shares subject to award 
---------------  ---------------------------------- 
  Albert Ellis                 441,656 
---------------  ---------------------------------- 
 Simon Wassall                 296,540 
---------------  ---------------------------------- 
  Mark Garratt                 189,291 
---------------  ---------------------------------- 
 

These awards were calculated on the basis of 100% of current base salary (pro-rated in the case of Mark Garratt by reference to his joining date with the Company of 03 April 2017), using the share price at the close of business on 28 September 2017 of 88.00p.

The awards will ordinarily become exercisable on the third anniversary of grant subject to the grantee's continued service and to the extent to which earnings per share (EPS) and relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance conditions are satisfied.

The EPS element of the performance condition relates to one half of each award and requires the Company's compounded annual growth in Adjusted Earnings Per Share over the three financial years to 31 January 2020 (the Performance Period) to be at least 7.5% to vest in full, with 20% of this part of an award vesting if such growth is at least 15%. Vesting between these levels will be on a straight-line basis.

The TSR element of the performance condition relates to one half of each award and requires the Company's TSR performance over the Performance Period to rank at least equal to upper quartile performance amongst the TSR performance of a comparator group to vest in full, with 20% of this part of an award vesting if such performance ranks at least equal to median. Vesting between these levels will be on a straight-line basis. The comparator group comprises the constituents of FTSE AIM Industrial Goods & Services Index on the first day of the Performance Period.

Shares acquired under an award (net of tax) must then be held for a minimum period of two years commencing on the vesting date.

The notification below, made in accordance with the requirements of DTR 3.1 and Article 19 of The Market Abuse provide further detail.
