AVIVA PLC ('Aviva')

NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF DIRECTORS AND PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES ('PDMRs')

Aviva announces that:

· On 11 May 2018, the undernoted PDMRs were granted conditional awards over Aviva plc ordinary shares under the Aviva Long Term Incentive Plan 2011 ('LTIP').

· The LTIP awards for the PDMRs will vest in 2021 in accordance with the plan rules. LTIP awards for Executive Directors are subject to an additional two year post-vesting holding period and therefore will be released in 2023.

· The awards for the Executive Directors were previously disclosed in Aviva's 2017 Annual Report and Accounts, published on the 27th March 2018. The awards have been granted following the approval of Aviva's Remuneration Policy at its AGM on 10 May.

· The LTIP awards are subject to the achievement of performance targets (50% based on Operating Earnings per Share and 50% based on relative Total Shareholder Return against a comparator group). Any vesting of the Operating EPS element of the LTIP is subject to two gateway hurdles:

· The average Operating RoE over the 3-year performance period (2018 to 2020) must exceed 12% p.a.

· The Solvency II Shareholder Cover Ratio must be maintained at or above the minimum of our stated range - currently 150% to 180%.

These targets will be measured over a three year performance period from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2020. The amounts shown below represent the maximum possible opportunity.

· In the case of Andy Briggs and Euan Munro, the awards are also subject to personal performance conditions, in line with CRD IV regulations.

· Under each of the LTIP awards, additional shares are awarded at vesting in lieu of dividends on shares that vest.

· The awards were made for nil consideration.

· The price used to calculate the number of LTIP shares awarded was £5.04, being the average of the mid-market closing price of an Aviva ordinary share on the three consecutive business days immediately proceeding 26 March 2018, in line with other employees.
