Pearson plc - (the "Company")

Notification of PDMRs' Interests

Management Incentive Plan

In 2017, the Company established the Pearson Management Incentive Plan (the "MIP"). Its purpose is to link senior management's short- and long-term reward with Pearson's financial performance and its progress against key strategic objectives. The MIP may settle awards with market purchased shares, but not newly issued or treasury shares. Executive Directors may not participate in the MIP.

On 3 April 2018, the Company made a grant of restricted shares to members of the Pearson Executive under the MIP. The number of shares granted is based on performance in the 2017 financial year and the share price on 1 March 2018. The awards will vest on 31 March 2021. Two-thirds of these shares remain subject to the Company meeting a minimum performance underpin based on Pearson's earnings per share in 2020 and one-third of these shares are subject to continued employment to the vesting date only.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

In addition, fulfilling a buyout promise made on hire to Jonathan Chocqueel-Mangan, an award of shares has been made to him and will vest as follows: one-half of these shares will vest in March 2019, and one-half of these shares will vest in March 2020, subject to continued employment only.

The following notifications, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, give further detail.
