31 March 2017
THE VITEC GROUP PLC
Notification of Transactions of Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility (PDMRs)
Deferred Bonus Plan - Vesting of 2014 DBP
The Vitec Group plc ("the Company") announces that the following transactions were undertaken by Directors and PDMRs in the ordinary shares of the Company on the dates indicated in the tables below:
· sale and transfer of Core Awards and associated dividend shares under the Deferred Bonus Plan ("DBP") made in 2014; and
· lapsing of Matching Awards under the DBP made in 2014.
The Company confirms that neither of the performance conditions associated with awards made on 31 March 2014 under the DBP reached threshold conditions for vesting and hence the Matching Awards under the DBP lapsed.
The sale of shares principally reflects the settlement of tax liabilities arising on vesting of the Core Award and associated dividend shares.
