Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities
This notification relates to transactions notified in accordance with Article 19 of the UK Market Abuse Regulation.
Sage announces that on 14 June 2024 it granted options (the "Options") over a total of 1,422,166 ordinary shares of 14/77 pence each to 2,497 employees, pursuant to the rules of The Sage Save and Share Plan (the "Plan").
The invitation to join the Plan was made available to all eligible employees of Sage in countries participating in the Plan in 2024, who were employed on or before 9 May 2024. Employees are limited to a maximum saving of £500 per month (or local currency equivalent) across this plan and any other outstanding Save and Share plans they may be participating in. The grant of Options amounts to 0.1327% of Sage's issued share capital as at 14 June 2024. The exercise of Options on maturity is not dependent upon performance criteria.
The Options for UK participants are exercisable between 1 August 2027 and 31 January 2028 with the exercise price set at a 20% discount to the average middle market quotation of the three dealing days prior to the launch of the Plan on 22 May 2024 and is £8.71 pence per ordinary share.
