Synergy Health plc ("Synergy", the "Company", or the "Group")

Director/PDMR Shareholding

The Company announces the following transactions by a person discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMR"), in Synergy Health plc ordinary shares of 0.625 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") and the consequent allocations of Ordinary Shares to the LTIP Co-Invest scheme:

1) Mr Ray Reilly, Executive Vice President, Global Human Resources, purchased 925 Ordinary shares at a price of 1,725.92 pence on 26 June 2015 and allocated these shares to the LTIP Co-Invest scheme. As a result of these allocations to the Company's LTIP Co-Invest Scheme, Mr Reilly has been granted an LTIP Co-Invest option of 1,850 options. Following the transactions Mr Reilly has an interest in 1,975 Ordinary Shares, representing less than 0.01% of the Company's issued share capital.

The LTIP Co-Invest arrangement requires that the participant to whom the award is to be made invests in Ordinary Shares in the Company and continues to hold those Ordinary Shares throughout the three year measurement period. At the end of the measurement period, depending upon the growth in earnings per share of the Company over the measurement period, the participant will receive a number of "matching" shares at nominal value under the LTIP Co-Invest.

The vesting of all of the Co-Invest options issued by the Company on 26 June 2015 will be time apportioned should the Recommended Combination with STERIS Corporation proceed.
