Director/PDMR Shareholding

John Lewis of Hungerford Plc (AIM: JLH), the specialist manufacturer and retailer of kitchens, bedrooms and freestanding furniture, announces that on 10 May 2019, the CEPACS Pension Scheme of which Gary O'Brien, Non-executive Chairman is a trustee and beneficiary, purchased 5,382,315 ordinary shares of 0.1p each ("Ordinary Shares") from the JLH plc Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") at a price of 0.55 pence per Ordinary Share. Following this transaction, Gary O'Brien beneficially holds 5,382,315 Ordinary Shares in the Company representing 2.89 per cent. of the issued share capital.

The EBT was established in December 2007, for the purpose of providing share-based incentive awards to Directors, management and employees. All awards under the Company's former Employee Incentive Plan have now lapsed. Following the transaction, the EBT does not hold any Ordinary Shares. It is the intention of the Board to terminate the EBT as soon as practicable thereby eliminating the administration cost of the EBT to the Company.

The notification below, made in accordance with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation, provides further detail.
