("Premier" or the "Company")

Grant of retention awards to PDMRs and other employees

Premier Asset Management Group PLC (AIM: PAM) today announces that it has awarded grants, subject to certain retention arrangements, of nil-cost contingent share rights (the "Awards") over ordinary shares of 0.02p each in Premier ("Shares") as detailed below.

Grant of Awards

In order to ensure that appropriate retention arrangements are in place for its senior management team, the Company has elected to make certain awards out of a proportion of the existing shares contained within the Company's Employee Benefit Trust.  The Employee Benefit Trust currently holds 3,242,830 ordinary shares in the Company, representing 3.07% of the issued ordinary share capital. The Company has a separate LTIP scheme to grant share awards to certain employees and directors of the Company, though to date this has not been used. 

On 10th July 2018, Premier granted Awards over a total of 968,333 Shares held within the Employee Benefit Trust, to certain Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs") and other employees.  From this, a total of 415,000 Shares were awarded to the two individuals who are regarded as PDMRs, details of which are set out below.

Vesting of the Awards is subject to continued employment and malus and clawback provisions. These Awards will vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, although they may vest earlier if there is a change of control event or, in certain circumstances, if a participant becomes a good leaver. The breakdown of the awards made to PDMRs is as follows:
