TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES BY PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY ("PDMRS")

 

4 SEPTEMBER 2020

 

In accordance with DLG's remuneration policy, awards under the DLG 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") have been granted to PDMRs over ordinary shares of 10 10/11 pence each in DLG. The number of shares awarded under the LTIP is based on the average closing share price over the three trading days prior to the date of grant, equal to £2.96.

 

In the context of the effect on markets of COVID-19, the Remuneration Committee will continue to monitor the risk of 'windfall gains' and will take this into account when determining the final vesting outcome. 

 

For further information on DLG's remuneration policy please see our Directors' Remuneration Report which is available at:  www.directlinegroup.co.uk
