C&C Group plc

("C&C" or "the Group")

Grant of awards under 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")

C&C, the vertically integrated premium branded drinks group and leading drinks distributor to the UK and Ireland hospitality sectors, announces that on 26 May 2026, and following the approval of the Remuneration Committee, it granted awards under and subject to the rules of the Group's 2024 LTIP (the "Awards") to the undernoted PDMRs.  The Award is in the form of a nil cost option to acquire Ordinary Shares in C&C with a nominal value of €0.01 per share.

The Awards will vest subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions of Earnings per Share (55%), relative Total Shareholder Return (35%) and Environmental conditions (10%). Following vesting there is a requirement for Roger White, CEO and Adam Phillips, CFO to retain the shares (except for any shares sold to cover any applicable tax withholding requirement) for a period of two additional years.

As described in the 2026 Remuneration Report, the Remuneration Committee has decided to delay setting the FY2027 three-year LTIP performance targets to ensure that they are appropriately challenging and aligned with strategy. The performance targets will be set as soon as practicable, no later than end of November 2026 and will be disclosed in the Remuneration Report next year.
