QinetiQ Group plc (the "Company")

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

On 30 June 2020, the following Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMR") were granted awards ("Awards") over ordinary shares in the Company ("Shares"), under the Company's 2017 Group Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

As noted in the Remuneration Committee Chair's statement in the FY20 Annual Report, to manage cash outflow in June 2020, as per QinetiQ's measures to respond to COVID-19, the Bonus Banking Plan awards which are annually granted under the Plan to the CEO and CFO, and previously payable in cash, will this year instead be delivered in Shares under that same Plan. Normally, the awards paid out under the Bonus Banking Plan would not be subject to any holding period; however, the Award Shares will be made subject to a one-year holding period in accordance with the Plan rules. More information can be found on page 100 of the Annual Report.

The Awards are therefore equivalent to the value that was due to be paid out in cash in respect of the Bonus Banking Plan awards for the financial year ended 31 March 2020. Shares subject to the Awards are expected to be delivered under the Plan on 11 August 2020, at which point the one-year holding period will commence.
