On 20 December 2018, Kier Group plc (the "Company") announced that the 33 for 50 rights issue of 64,455,707 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at 409 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Rights Issue") had closed for acceptances at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on 19 December 2018.

Certain of the Company's directors and persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") hold options to acquire, or awards of, Ordinary Shares under certain of the Company's share schemes.

On 29 May 2019, the Company's board of directors approved adjustments to the maximum numbers of Ordinary Shares held under the share schemes and, for the Kier Group plc 2006 Sharesave Scheme and the Kier Group plc Sharesave Scheme 2016 (together the "Sharesave Schemes"), adjustments to the option price of the share options held under the Sharesave Schemes, in each case to reflect the effect of the Rights Issue.
