Hastings Group Holdings plc (the "Company")

Director/PDMR Shareholding

The Company was notified on 4 June 2018 that the following purchase of Company ordinary shares were made by Capita IRG Trustees Limited on 31 May 2018 on behalf of Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMR") pursuant to the Company's Share Incentive Plan ("SIP") as a result of the Company's dividend that was paid on 31 May 2018.

Mr van der Meer no longer actively participates in the SIP but continues to have beneficial interest in Company ordinary shares held on his behalf by Capita IRG Trustees Limited pursuant to the rules of the SIP and therefore receives dividends on those ordinary shares which are reinvested.

This notification is made in order to satisfy both section 793 of the Companies Act 2006 and article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulation.
