Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities and Persons Closely Associated with them

 

On 5 July 2022 the Company made the following conditional awards of nil-cost options under the Moonpig Deferred Share Bonus Plan ("DSBP") and the Moonpig Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") to Nickyl Raithatha, Chief Executive Officer.

 

Scheme

Number of shares awarded

DSBP

121,920

LTIP

456,378

 

The above awards were calculated using a price of £2.2253 per share (being  the average of the Company's share price during the 3-day period ending with the dealing day before the date of grant ).

 

The DSBP award relates to the deferral of 33% of the FY22 bonus, which would otherwise be paid in cash in July 2022, into options over shares with a future vesting date conditional upon continued employment.

 

The policy limit for LTIP awards is 200% of salary for the CEO.  Notwithstanding the Group's performance since IPO, the CEO and CFO are conscious that the share price has fallen materially since IPO and that a grant calculated using the current share price would result in their grants being made over a larger number of shares than originally envisaged.  Accordingly, they have each volunteered, on a one-time basis, to the number of shares over which the grants are made being reduced by 15%, reducing the reward for the CEO from 200% to 170%.  The awards will be subject to Total Shareholder Return and Adjusted EPS performance conditions.

 

Vesting of both awards will take place three years after grant and are subject to continued employment. Any vested shares from the LTIP awards which are not sold to pay income tax and national insurance liabilities will be subject to a two year post-vesting holding period.

 

The Awards were made in accordance with the Company's remuneration policy.

 

The relevant notifications set out below is provided in accordance with the requirements of Article 19 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
