PDMR Notifications

PureTech Health plc (LSE: PRTC) ("PureTech" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company dedicated to discovering, developing and commercialising highly differentiated medicines for devastating diseases , announces that awards of restricted share units ("RSUs") granted by PureTech on 19 May 2017 to certain directors and other persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") pursuant to its Performance Share Plan ("PSP") vested in full on 27 February 2020 following satisfaction of all of the performance conditions measured over the three year period to 31 December 2019.

The vesting would have resulted in the award of ordinary shares in the Company (subject to deduction of payroll taxes) in accordance with the following table:

 
 Director/PDMR       Ordinary Share Award 
 Daphne Zohar        1,362,393 
                    --------------------- 
 Bharatt Chowrira    1,010,495 
                    ---------------------

 Stephen Muniz       455,039 
                    --------------------- 
 

The Company's Remuneration Committee decided to exercise its discretion in accordance with the Company's revised remuneration policy adopted by the Company on 11 June 2020 and the rules of the PSP and took the decision to cash settle the vested shares in full, resulting in the PDMRs receiving cash payments (after deduction of payroll taxes) and not ordinary shares in the Company.

The market price per ordinary share in the Company used to calculate the amount payable to the PDMRs was 268 pence, being the average closing price of the Company's shares over the three trading day period immediately preceding the settlement, and the exchange rate used to calculate the cash payment was GBP1:$1.25.

The Company's total issued ordinary share capital is 285,497,461 shares, which is unchanged by the above transactions.
