01 October 2020

For immediate release

AO World plc (the "Company")

Director / PDMR Shareholding

The Company announces that on 30 September 2020 it awarded performance units under the AO Value Creation Plan 2020 ("VCP") to the directors and PDMRs of the Company as listed below.

The VCP was approved by the Company's shareholders at its AGM held on 20 August 2020. Full details of the VCP were set out in the Company's Notice of Annual General Meeting (available on the Company's website at https://www.ao-world.com/investor-centre/reports-and-presentations/ ).

John Roberts, Mark Higgins and Danny Emmett, as directors and PDMRs of the Company, have each been granted an Executive Award under the VCP.

No payment has been made for the grant of these awards and they have no value at grant.

Executive Awards vest in three equal tranches on 31 March 2025, 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2027 (the "Measurement Dates") if on those dates the Board determines that the "Plan Value" is greater than nil. If the Plan Value is nil on a Measurement Date that tranche will lapse immediately.

The Plan Value on a Measurement Date will be equal to 10% of the market capitalisation of the Company on that date. For these purposes the market capitalisation will be calculated using the average closing price of a share (capped at GBP12.55) over the three months ending on that date less GBP5.23, times the number of shares in the share capital of the Company, in issue.

The rules of the Plan provide that the total number of shares which may be issued under the VCP across all participants may not exceed 5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

The Notification of Dealing Form provided in accordance with the requirements of MAR in relation to the transactions listed above is set out below:
