If the performance conditions are not satisfied, none of the LTIP award shares will vest. *Target EPS for 2021 is the analyst's consensus EPS of 1.58p, available at the time of publication of the Company's Group Strategy Presentation. The non-financial strategic milestones are those as set out in the Company's Group Strategy Investor Presentation published on 02 September 2020 (available at www.pendragonplc.com ) and reflect those strategic milestones the Company considers able to achieve in 2021. Delivery against the 2021 strategic milestone performance conditions will be assessed by the Committee at year end; the specific metrics of the strategic milestone targets are considered to be commercially sensitive and are therefore not included here. More detail on the metrics and achievement against them will be disclosed, once the level of vesting has been determined.

The Committee retains full discretion over all elements of the Awards granted and vesting, including the right to effect forfeiture or clawback of the awards for a period of two years following the vesting date and the ability to adjust the number of awards vesting, for example if events occur which mean that the formulaic outcome is not an accurate reflection of overall business performance.

The Awards were made based on a share price of GBP0.14084 per Ordinary Share, being the average quoted closing mid-market price of the Company's Ordinary Share on the five trading days from 22 October 2020 to 28 October 2020.

The Committee recognised that the LTIP Awards have been made during a period of market uncertainty due to COVID-19, and as such, retained a discretion to adjust down the maximum percentage of salary over which a participant could receive maximum award if it was considered that the share price at the time of award was less than the pre-COVID-19 market share price, in order prevent exceptional levels of award. It has not been necessary to use the adjustment mechanism on this occasion.

The normal vesting date of the LTIP Awards will be 28 October 2023, being the third anniversary of the award date.

Following the award of the above Awards, the executive directors' respective beneficial holdings in Pendragon PLC ordinary shares remains unchanged, and are as detailed below:-
