The notifications below are made in accordance with the requirements of Article 19 (3) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and the dealings were in respect of ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the share capital of the Company ("Shares").
On 3 October 2025, the Company granted market value options over Shares (the "Awards") under the On the Beach Group plc Growth Plan (the "Growth Plan"), which was approved by shareholders on 12 September 2025 and is consistent with the remuneration policy adopted at that meeting. The exercise price is 252p per share, being the average closing share price over the 30 days prior to the date of grant.
Consistent with the Company's Medium Term Ambition, announced in December 2024, vesting is conditional on delivery of a highly stretching adjusted basic earnings per share target of 38.7p in any of the Company's financial years ending between 30 September 2025 and 30 September 2029 (inclusive). To the extent the target is not achieved within this period, the Awards will lapse. The Remuneration Committee retains discretion to adjust vesting outcomes to ensure they fairly reflect underlying performance and stakeholder experience, in line with the Growth Plan rules.
The Awards are subject to a 5 year holding period and to malus and clawback provisions for 7 years in line with the rules of the Growth Plan. Further details for each PDMR are set out below.
