Notification of Director's Interests in Shares

On 19 December 2023, an award over ordinary shares of 25 pence each in James Fisher and Sons plc (the "Company") was made under the James Fisher and Sons 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan, to the following person discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMR"):

 
        PDMR           Number of shares held under 
                                  award 
 Karen Hayzen-Smith              62,358 
                      ----------------------------

No consideration was paid for the grant of the award which is structured as a restricted share award. This award is being granted to replace certain interests held by Karen in connection with her former role and which were forfeited on her joining the Company.

The award will normally vest on the 19 December 2026 subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions set by the Remuneration Committee of the Company and which are consistent with those attaching to the 2023 LTIP award granted to other eligible participants in June 2023. The following three performance conditions apply to the award:

50 per cent. of the award is subject to a performance condition based on the Company's earnings per share ("EPS") performance over three financial years commencing with the financial year in which the award is granted. None of this element shall vest if the Company's EPS for the 2025 financial year is less than 50 pence. 25 per cent. of this element shall vest if 2025 EPS is 50 pence, rising on a straight-line sliding scale to 100 per cent. vesting of this element if 2025 EPS is at least 62 pence.

30 per cent. of the award is subject to a performance condition comparing the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") against a comparator group comprising the constituents of the FTSE 250 Index (excluding investment trusts) at the start of the TSR performance period. TSR shall be measured over three years commencing on 6 April 2023. None of this element shall vest if the Company's relative TSR over this period is below the median TSR of the comparator group. 25 per cent. of this element shall vest if the Company's TSR is in line with the median TSR of the comparator group, rising on a straight-line sliding scale to 100 per cent. vesting of this element if TSR is at least upper quartile.

The remaining 20 per cent. of the award is subject to a performance condition based on the Company's return on capital employed ("ROCE") performance over three financial years commencing with the financial year in which the award is granted. None of this element shall vest if the Company's ROCE for the 2025 financial year is less than 10%. 25 per cent. of this element shall vest if 2025 ROCE is 10%, rising on a straight-line sliding scale to 100 per cent. vesting of this element if 2025 ROCE is at least 13%.

The Remuneration Committee retains the discretion to adjust the awards at vesting to ensure that all relevant factors are taken into account, including the consideration of any windfall gains.

This announcement, including the notification below, is made in accordance with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulations.
