LTIP Award - 7 April 2016

On 7 April 2016 A.G. BARR p.l.c. ("A.G. BARR" or the "Company") granted awards in the form of nil-cost options over ordinary shares in the Company under the A.G. BARR p.l.c. Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") to R A White, S Lorimer, J D Kemp and A L Memmott, as noted below.

S Lorimer was also granted an award in the form of a tax qualifying option under the A.G. BARR p.l.c. Executive Share Option Scheme 2010 (the "ESOS")

Name	Role	Number of ordinary shares under option	Exercise price
R A White	CEO	105,636 (LTIP option)	Nil
S Lorimer	Finance Director	62,416 (LTIP option) 5,703* (ESOS option)	Nil £5.26 per share
J D Kemp	Commercial Director	55,394 (LTIP option)	Nil
A L Memmott	Supply Chain Director	49,339 (LTIP option)	Nil

*If the option under ESOS is exercised at a gain, the LTIP awards will be reduced by the same value to ensure that the aggregate pre-tax value delivered to participant remains the same as would have been the case had only the LTIP award been granted.

Under the rules of the LTIP, the vesting of the awards is subject to the achievement of a performance condition based upon the extent to which the Company's average earnings per share ("EPS") over the period of three financial years commencing with the Company's 2016/17 financial year (the "Performance Period") exceeds the Company's average earnings per share for the three financial years immediately preceding the Performance Period.  Ordinarily, the awards will vest (subject to the achievement of the performance condition) on 7 April 2019.

This notification is made pursuant to Disclosure and Transparency Rule 3.1.4.
