SJP was notified on 24 October 2017 of the following changes in SJP shares held by the Executive Directors named below.

SJP Performance Share Plan 2005 ("PSP") and linked Company Share Option Plan 2010 ("CSOP")

CSOP

On 26 March 2014 the following Executive Directors ("the Directors") were awarded a CSOP-linked award, whereby they were granted a nil-cost unapproved option pursuant to the PSP and a linked HMRC-approved CSOP share option:

Andrew Croft, Chief Financial Officer

Ian Gascoigne, Managing Director

David Lamb, Managing Director

The Directors exercised the linked CSOP award on 24 October 2017 with an exercise price of GBP8.515 per share and, as a result, their linked PSP awards automatically lapsed in respect of the number of shares equal in value to the gain realised upon exercise of the linked CSOP award.

Column 1 sets out the number of SJP shares acquired as a result of the exercise of the linked CSOP award on 24 October 2017, and column 2 sets out the number of SJP shares sold on 24 October 2017 at GBP11.81 pence per share by the Directors. Column 3 sets out the number of shares that have lapsed under the linked PSP award as a result of these exercises, and Column 4 sets out the number of PSP award shares retained under the linked PSP award.
