("GBG" or "the Company")

Notification of Director's Interest

The Board of GBG announces that the investment made by the executive directors in acquiring ordinary shares of 2.5p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") in February 2019 as part of the share placing for the acquisition of IDology Inc. was carried out under the Bonus Deferral and Share Matching Plan of the Company.

Accordingly, subject to the conditions outlined below, the investment by the executive directors has been matched, and grossed up for income taxes, to 1.75x the investment made.

The conditional matching option awards to the executive directors are set out in the table below. The figures reflect the maximum number of matched Ordinary Shares over which the option awards may be exercised. The actual number will depend upon the extent to which the established performance conditions detailed in GBG's annual report are satisfied over the performance period.

Following this announcement:

   (i)       Chris Clark has: 

-- a beneficial holding of 39,024 Ordinary Shares (which represents 0.02% of the issued share capital of the Company); and

   --     options over a maximum of 1,528,853 Ordinary Shares. 
   (ii)      Dave Wilson has: 

-- a beneficial holding of 284,337 Ordinary Shares (which represents 0.15% of the issued share capital of the Company); and

   --     options over a maximum of 896,375 Ordinary Shares. 
    (iii)    Nick Brown has: 

-- a beneficial holding of 922,196 Ordinary Shares (which represents 0.48% of the issued share capital of the Company); and

   --      options over a maximum of 710,559 Ordinary Shares. 

A summary of the rules of the Bonus Deferral and Share Matching Plan is as follows:

The Company announced in November 2011 that following consultation with its major shareholders, the Remuneration Committee of the Board had approved the establishment of a salary sacrifice, bonus deferral and share matching plan whereby the executive directors and certain senior managers will have the opportunity to elect to invest up to 20% of their annual salary and up to 80% of their annual bonus in ordinary shares. Subject to continued employment, the retention of these shares and the meeting of a demanding financial performance target, the investment will be matched on a gross basis by matching shares, in the form of options with a nominal value exercise price, which will, subject to these conditions, vest after three years.
