LADBROKES CORAL GROUP PLC
Notification of Interests of Directors and Persons Discharging
Managerial Responsibility ("PDMR")
On 26 March 2018, the Court sanctioned a scheme of arrangement
for the acquisition of the entire issued and to be issued share
capital of Ladbrokes Coral Group plc (the "Company") by GVC
Holdings PLC ("GVC" and the "Acquisition", respectively). As a
result of this, outstanding awards(1) ("Awards") held by the PDMRs
and directors under the Performance Share Plan, Deferred Bonus Plan
and the 1983 Savings Related Share Option Scheme ("Sharesave")
vested and were exercised.
Details of the total number of Shares vesting in respect of
executive directors and PDMRs are as follows:

When conditional share awards granted under the Deferred Bonus
Plan vest, the directors and PDMRs will receive a combination of
Shares and a cash payment from the Company that together have an
aggregate combined value (on vesting) equal to the aggregate total
number of Shares in the Company that would have been acquired were
it not for the award being part settled in cash. The cash sum will
be used to satisfy these individuals' tax liability arising on
vesting of these conditional share awards under the Deferred Bonus
Plan.
The above "net settlement" approach did not apply to restricted
share awards granted under the Deferred Bonus Plan over 29,543
Shares to Jim Mullen. Instead, the trustee of the Ladbrokes Coral
Group plc Share Ownership Trust will purchase sufficient Shares
back from Jim Mullen in an off-market transaction at a price equal
to the closing middle market quotation of the Shares on the Court
sanction date. The Share sale by Jim Mullen will be used to fund
the tax liability which arises on vesting of his restricted share
awards
In respect of the Performance Share Plan, no Shares are to be
sold in order to meet the tax liability as there is insufficient
time to sell such Shares in the market and the Acquisition will
complete shortly after vesting on 28 March 2018. Shares in GVC and
cash, which form part of the consideration under the Acquisition
and which will be issued and transferred, respectively, on
completion of the Acquisition, will instead be sold to meet the tax
liability of the individuals arising on the vesting.
This notification is made in accordance with DTR 3.1.4R(1)(a) of
the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
The attached notifications made in accordance with the EU Market
Abuse Regulation, provide further information.
