Micro Focus International plc ("Micro Focus" or the "Company")

Share Awards

Micro Focus International plc (the "Company", LSE: MCRO.L, NYSE: MFGP) announces that, following a review of existing Additional Share Grant ("ASG") awards after the announcement of the forthcoming SUSE sale, ASG awards made to Executive Directors on completion of the HPE Software acquisition on 1 September 2017 (the "Transaction") will be cancelled. New ASG awards will be granted in order to align with the business plan to deliver value by October 2020 and focus Executive Directors on delivering significant value to shareholders over the 3 years from completion of the Transaction. The Company believes that, in the light of the HPE Software integration and the wider competitive environment evidenced by recent M&A activity in the software sector, the alignment of the vesting period to September 2020 is essential to provide an effective incentive over the period of the business plan.

The current Executive Directors (Kevin Loosemore, Stephen Murdoch and Chris Kennedy) and those who were Executive Directors at the time of the existing award and remain in employment (Nils Brauckmann and Mike Phillips) have agreed to surrender their existing ASG awards made on 1 September 2017 which were due to vest on 7 September 2019. In return, the Company has made new ASG awards over ordinary shares in the Company as detailed below, which are due to vest on 1 September 2020 (being 3 years from the completion of the Transaction).

 
                            No of Nil Cost 
                     Options over Ordinary 
 Director                           Shares 
-----------------  ----------------------- 
 Kevin Loosemore                 1,100,000 
 Stephen Murdoch                   947,000 
 Chris Kennedy                     676,000 
 Mike Phillips                     676,000 
 Nils Brauckmann                   500,000 
 

The Total Shareholder Returns (TSR) performance thresholds for the new awards are unchanged from the previous awards, save in respect of the period to vesting, and the number of new awards is equal to the number of previous awards which they replace, except for Stephen Murdoch and Chris Kennedy where increases (of 447,000 and 176,000 awards respectively) have been made to reflect Stephen's promotion to CEO and to align Chris' awards to those granted to his predecessor.

In addition, in order to reflect Stephen Murdoch's promotion to CEO, a top-up LTIP award has been made under the Micro Focus International Incentive Plan 2005 so that his total award for 2017/18 is 200% of Base Salary. A similar top-up LTIP award has been made for Chris Kennedy to take his total award for the 2017/18 year to 200% of Base Salary.
