("AJ Bell", the "Company")

Notification and public disclosure of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them

AJ Bell wishes to announce that due to an administrative oversight the number of annual and deferred awards over the Company's ordinary shares of GBP0.000125 each (Ordinary Shares) granted to Roger Stott, the chief operating officer and a person discharging managerial responsibilities (PDMR) in the Company, under the AJ Bell Executive Incentive Plan (EIP) on 9 December 2021, which was announced on 13 December 2021, was less than should have been granted.

As a consequence of the above, on 4 February 2022 the Company granted Roger Stott an additional annual award in respect of 31,680 Ordinary Shares and an additional deferred award in respect of 47,520 Ordinary Shares. Roger Stott has now been granted an annual award in respect of a total of 44,000 Ordinary Shares and a deferred award in respect of a total of 66,000 Ordinary Shares in relation to the performance period ending on 30 September 2022.

No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards, which have been structured as nominal cost options, and:

a) the annual award will normally vest once it has been determined if, and the extent to which, the performance conditions have been satisfied, which will ordinarily be within 75 days of the end of the performance period on 30 September 2022.

b) the deferred award will, subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions and the operation of a performance underpin, malus and clawback, normally vest on the first day on which dealings in the Company's shares by PDMRs are permitted under the Company's share dealing code after 30 September 2025.

c) both the annual award and the deferred award will be subject to a holding period which expires on 30 September 2026, and will, ordinarily, remain exercisable until the day before the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. Clawback will continue to apply up until the end of the holding period.
