Notification of Transactions of Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities

 

Card Factory announces that, in line with the Company's Remuneration Policy (as set out in the Company's 2020 Annual Report and Accounts ("Annual Report"'), and following deferral of grant of awards earlier in 2020, due to the uncertainty arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, conditional, nil-cost, restricted share awards over 371,067 ordinary shares of 0.01p each in the capital of the Company have been granted today to Kristian Lee, Chief Financial Officer under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP").

In determining the number of shares to be included in this restricted share award, the Remuneration Committee exercised discretion and reduced the award by 40% having regard to the change in share price as a result of the current market environment.  The Remuneration Committee will also review the outcome of this award at the time of vesting to avoid excessive returns and will exercise discretion as required.   

The vesting of these awards is subject to the satisfaction of a performance underpin condition measured over the three financial years commencing 1 February 2020 (details of which are set out in the Annual Report).  Upon determination by the Company's Remuneration Committee of the satisfaction of the performance underpin condition, the restricted share awards will vest as follows:

50% of the award on the third anniversary of the date of grant;

25% of the award on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant; and

25% of the award on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.

100% of the awards will be subject to a holding period which will normally end on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.

In determining the number of shares to be awarded, the Remuneration Committee, in accordance with the LTIP Rules, used the average middle market price from the London Stock Exchange's Daily Official List over the 3 months prior to the date of the award.

This notification is made in accordance with Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulation and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
