NOTIFICATION AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF TRANSACTIONS BY PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND PERSONS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THEM
The information set out below is provided in accordance with the requirements of Article 19(3) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation No 596/2014.
The Company today confirms a long-term award under the DMGT Executive Director Long-term Incentive Plan (the "ED LTIP"), to each of the executive directors below, as outlined in the Company's Remuneration Policy and 2020 Annual Report.
The awards under the ED LTIP are granted on the terms that shares will normally only be delivered at the end of a ten-year period, subject to the rules of the ED LTIP, including leaver provisions, Company event provisions and cash settlement provisions. The Awards will accrue over an accrual period of ten years. The accrual period for the Awards will work in such a way that the Awards will accrue annually at a rate of one-tenth each year from the end of year one to the end of year ten.
The Award covers the ten-year period from 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2031, with the number of shares under the award calculated by reference to a share price of £9.89 (the volume weighted average share price ('VWAP') for the twelve months up to and including the first 3 days following the release of FY 2021 results).
The vesting outcome is subject to acceptable financial performance over a ten-year period.
No further Awards under the ED LTIP are currently envisaged to be granted to the existing Executive Directors before 1 October 2029.
