No. 1 Regulatory News Service Announcement, dated 09 March 2018

re: Director/PDMR Shareholding

9 March 2018

LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC ('GROUP') - NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS BY PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES ('PDMRs') IN ORDINARY SHARES OF THE GROUP OF 10 PENCE EACH ('SHARES')

On 21 February 2018, the Group published details of upcoming remuneration disclosures for the Group, including salary, Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) vesting, Group Performance Share (bonus), Group Ownership Share (LTIP) awards and Fixed Share Awards for PDMRs ('Summary Remuneration Announcement'). Where awards had not yet been made, estimates were provided. The Group announces that the following awards were made on 6 March 2018.

This announcement should be read in conjunction with the Summary Remuneration Announcement and disclosures in the 2017 Annual Report and Accounts published on 21 February 2018. The 2017 Annual Report and Accounts is available on the 'Annual Reports' page in the 'Investors & Performance' section of the Group's website www.lloydsbankinggroup.com.

2017 Group Performance Share Awards

In line with requirements of the PRA Rulebook and FCA Remuneration Code (SYSC 19D), a maximum of 40 per cent of any variable remuneration awarded to Executive Directors and other members of the Group Executive Committee will be paid in 2018 (subject to applicable holding requirements). The remaining 60 per cent must be deferred.

For the 2017 Group Performance Share awards, £2,000 is paid in cash in March 2018 with the balance of the upfront 40 per cent delivered in Shares. 50 per cent of the upfront Shares will be delivered immediately and will be subject to a holding period ending in March 2019. The remaining 50 per cent will be delivered in June 2018 at the prevailing share price with the number of shares notified to the market at that time. The remaining 60 per cent of the 2017 Group Performance Share Award is deferred into Shares with 40 per cent vesting in 2019 and 20 per cent in 2020.

	Name	Number of Shares Awarded in March 2018 (1)
	António Horta-Osório	1,555,288
	George Culmer	704,426
	Juan Colombás	704,426
	Karin Cook	382,234
	Antonio Lorenzo	598,468
	Vim Maru	593,881
	Zak Mian	752,996
	David Oldfield	656,320
	Janet Pope	317,406
	Stephen Shelley	604,673

1	Based on a Share price of 68.027 pence being the average of the closing Share price of the five trading days prior to the date of award. This is the maximum number of Shares under award which will be subject to income tax and national insurance contributions on vesting.

Group Ownership Share Plan - 2018 awards

Awards for the 2017 performance period were made on 6 March under the rules of the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The 2018 awards are subject to a three-year performance period with vesting between the third and seventh anniversary of award, on a pro-rata basis.

Name	Maximum number of Shares awarded (1)(2)	Expected value (3)
António Horta-Osório	6,725,221	£2,287,483
George Culmer	3,860,925	£1,317,927
Juan Colombás	3,807,302	£1,294,997
Karin Cook	2,772,003	£942,855
Antonio Lorenzo	3,753,678	£1,276,757
Vim Maru	3,587,703	£1,220,303
Zak Mian	3,224,453	£1,096,749
David Oldfield	3,753,678	£1,276,760
Janet Pope	1,708,180	£581,012
Stephen Shelley	2,308,867	£785,327

1	Based on a Share price of 68.027 pence being the average of the closing Share price of the five trading days prior to the date of award. As regulations prohibit the payment of dividend equivalents on awards in 2018 and subsequent years, the number of Shares subject to award has been determined by applying a discount factor to the Share price on award, as previously disclosed. The Remuneration Committee has approved an adjustment of 25 per cent for colleagues who are senior managers, including the Executive Directors.
2	Vesting determined in 2021 subject to the satisfaction of stretching performance targets over the performance period ending 31 December 2020.
3	The values for the Group Ownership Shares awards are shown at an expected value of 50 per cent of maximum value and before deduction of income tax and NIC. The actual vesting value will depend on the achievement of performance conditions and the Share price at the date of vesting. These awards are subject to clawback for at least seven years from the date of award.
