Notification of transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial
Responsibilities ("PDMRs")
The Company provides notification of the following transactions
effected on 4 April 2018 relating to the below named PDMRs and
relating to their respective interests in the ordinary shares of
nominal value 5p each in the capital of the Company ("Shares")
(ISIN: GB0006215205).
The transactions arise from the annual award, pursuant to the
Company's Directors' Remuneration Policy, of performance
conditioned option awards over Shares under the rules of the
Company's 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), including, as
applicable, the HMRC approved Company Share Option Plan ("CSOP")
attached thereto (together, "Awards").

(1) The conversion of the Award value (as a percentage of
salary) into the number of Shares under option is based on the
closing middle market quotation of a Share on 29 March 2018 (being
the business trading day immediately preceding the date of grant)
of GBP3.87 per share.
(2) Awards under the LTIP are granted in the form of nil cost
options.
(3) Awards under the CSOP are structured in the form of market
value share options with an exercise price of GBP3.87 per Share
(such price being derived as per note(1) above). These awards are
aligned with the requirements of Schedule 4 to the Income Tax
(Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 and any vesting will be by way of
set-off against any Shares vesting under the LTIP award.
The Awards will normally vest on the third anniversary of grant
with the actual number of Shares vesting at that time, if any,
based on the Company's achievement against stretching performance
targets measured over the three-year financial period ending 31
December 2020. The targets (set out in full in the Directors'
Remuneration Report to the Company's 2017 Annual Report, available
at www.nationalexpressgroup.com) relate to Earnings Per Share,
Return On Capital Employed and, split equally between a comparison
against the FTSE 250 and a bespoke index, Total Shareholder Return.
Each target is weighted as to one-third of the Award. There is no
ability to retest any of the performance conditions.
Additionally, the Awards are subject to malus and clawback and a
two-year holding period from the date of vesting (including post
cessation of employment), the latter of which runs in parallel with
the two-year exercise period which applies. A dividend equivalent
payment accrues during the vesting period (payable on vesting) in
relation to any Shares which vest and, similarly, dividend
equivalent payments are payable on any vested unexercised Shares
held during the holding period.
The Company can confirm that each of the PDMRs have complied
with their obligation to notify the Financial Conduct Authority in
respect of the above transactions as is their obligation under the
EU Market Abuse Regulation.
