ii)     on 28 October 2024, certain PDMRs were allocated Shares, as a result of the vesting of awards made to them in October 2021, and, in the case of Mr Bradshaw, also of awards made to him in April 2022 on the same terms as the awards made in October 2021, under the Kier Group plc 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP Vesting");
