Royal Mail plc

Notification of Transactions of Directors/Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility

In accordance with Rule 3.1.2R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, Royal Mail plc (the "Company") was notified today of certain transactions by Executive Directors/Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs") in shares of the Company.

As Eligible Employees, each of the Executive Directors and PDMRs listed below have been awarded 103 free Ordinary Shares as part of the Employee Free Shares Offer that was established under section 3 of the Postal Services Act 2011.

As was the case with the 2013 and 2014 allocations, the Executive Directors and PDMRs have been awarded the same number of free Ordinary Shares as each other full-time Eligible Employee who did not opt out of the Royal Mail Share Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). These Ordinary Shares were awarded at nil cost and will be held in trust by the trustee of the Plan. The Plan has been approved by HMRC under Schedule 2 to the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003.

In compliance with Rule 3.1.4R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company notifies the market of details of the following transactions:
