Pearson plc - (the "Company")

Notification of PDMR Interests

Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") - 2017 Time-Vesting Release

In 2001, the Company established the Pearson Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"). Its purpose is to link management's long-term reward with Pearson's financial performance and returns to shareholders.

Under the terms of the LTIP Time-Vesting Plan, all shares are released to participants on the vesting date, providing that the participant is still employed by the Company.

The following table sets out the number of shares released to Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility (PDMR) on 8 May 2017 and notified to the Company on 8 May 2017. The LTIP rules require that sufficient shares are sold to discharge the tax liability arising on the shares released. The shares set out in the third column below were sold on 8 May 2017 at the price shown, with the number of shares/American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) set out in the fifth column below being allotted to and retained by the PDMR towards meeting their shareholding guideline.
