LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE GROUP PLC

NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY ("PDMR") OR CONNECTED PERSONS

Acquisition of shares under the terms of the London Stock Exchange Long Term Incentive Plan 2014 (the '2014 LTIP')

On 10 April 2015 London Stock Exchange Group plc ('the Company') was notified that on 9 April 2015, Computershare Trustees (Jersey) Limited, the trustee of the London Stock Exchange Employee Benefit Trust, purchased 18,548 ordinary shares of 6 79/86 pence each in the Company ('Shares') on behalf of the 5 PDMRs noted below who are participating in the 2014 LTIP whereby an employee purchases Shares in the Company ('Invested Shares') and, in return, are granted a matching award of Shares (the 'Matching Award').  The venue of execution for the purchase of the Shares was London Stock Exchange.

In return for the PDMRs purchasing Invested Shares, the Company has granted them Matching Awards over such number of Shares that equals two times the number of Shares that the PDMRs could have purchased had his or her investment been made on a pre-tax basis.

As announced on 9 April 2015, the following PDMR purchased 3,230 Shares on 8 April 2015 and in return was granted a Matching Award.

To be eligible to receive the Matching Award, senior executives must hold their Invested Shares and remain in employment for a period of three years from the date of grant of the Matching Award.  The actual number of Shares transferred to a senior executive on the vesting of the Matching Award will depend on the extent to which corporate performance targets are satisfied over the three-year vesting period. 

Full details of the 2014 LTIP are provided in the Directors' Remuneration Report in the London Stock Exchange Group plc Annual Report for the 9 months to 31 December 2014.

This notification relates to a disclosure made in accordance with Disclosure Rule 3.1.4R (1) (a).
