Burberry Group plc (the "Company")

Director/PDMR Shareholdings

 

 

On 27 July 2026, Kate Ferry, Chief Financial Officer, received 39,198 ordinary shares of 0.05 pence each in the Company ("Shares") following the vesting of a conditional share award granted to her on 27 July 2023 (the "Award") under the rules of the Burberry Share Plan 2020. 

 

The Award was subject to continued employment and a discretionary assessment against three performance underpins: revenue, Group return on invested capital (ROIC) and brand and sustainability strategies. The Remuneration Committee carefully considered the underpin assessment and considered it appropriate to scale back the vesting of the Award by 20%, as explained on pages 143 to 144 of the Company's Annual Report 2025/26. The part of the Award which did not vest has lapsed. 

 

The number of Shares acquired includes an additional number of Shares equivalent to the amount of dividends payable during the relevant vesting period on the Shares vesting subject to the Award.  

 

Following this acquisition, on 27 July 2026, 18,479 Shares were automatically sold on Mrs Ferry's behalf to fund tax liabilities and fees arising from the acquisition of the vested Shares, as set out below. The remaining vested Shares will be subject to a two-year holding period, so that the minimum time before any sale of vested Shares (except to cover any tax liabilities and fees arising) is five years from the grant date of the Award.
