Persimmon Plc (the "Company")

Director/PDMR Shareholding

Andrew Duxbury commenced his role as Chief Financial Officer of the Company on 17 June 2024.

On 18 June 2024, Andrew's wife Rachel Duxbury purchased 3,462 shares in the Company at a price of £14.295 per share. 

Furthermore, as reported in the Company's Directors' Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2023, in line with usual practice the Remuneration Committee agreed that in recognition of Andrew's forfeiture of remuneration on leaving his former employer, he would be granted buy-out awards.  These have been made on the basis that any compensation due should not result in an outcome where Andrew receives more than would have been due had he remained in post at Galliford Try.  Information in relation to the principles applied in agreeing the buy-out awards is included in that Directors' Remuneration Report. Details of the buy-out awards granted in shares on 18 June 2024 are summarised below.
