All options are granted at the market value of the Company shares, and therefore shareholder value must be enhanced for the Directors/ PDMRs to benefit.

ANNUAL BONUS PLAN

The following Directors/ PDMRs have also been awarded ordinary shares of 0.4p each in the Company which were granted on 17(th) February 2014 under the Hargreaves Lansdown Deferred Performance Bonus Plan ("the Plan").

Under the current terms of the Plan, all Directors/ PDMRs were required to defer 10% of any bonus earned for the year ended 30 June 2013 into either unapproved (nil cost) share options, or cash.

Where the Directors/ PDMRs have elected to defer into unapproved share options, the awards have an exercise price of nil pence per share and may be exercised at the Director/ PDMRs discretion from 1 July 2015 until 1 October 2016. Awards shall only vest where the director remains in employment with the group.
