Park Group plc
("Park" the "Company" or the "Group")
Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs")
Awards under the Park Group plc Strategic Growth Plan
Following the adoption of the Park Group plc Strategic Growth Plan (the "Plan") the Company has today, 21 December, 2018, granted awards under the Plan to the directors of the Company listed below.
Under the terms of the Plan, participants have the right to receive a proportion of a pool of ordinary shares of 2 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") that in aggregate deliver a value equal to 10% of the value created for shareholders over a 5 year performance period beginning from the date of grant. The awards will vest for nil consideration and are subject to certain performance conditions, principally delivering a total shareholder return in excess of 10% p.a. compound growth during the performance period. The awards will be settled in Ordinary Shares. In consideration for the grant of the awards under the Plan, any entitlement to receive a usual award under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") will be suspended for the participants during this period.
An overall cap on the maximum number of shares that can be granted under the SGP is set at 5% of the outstanding share capital at grant to prevent excessive payouts or dilution. This will sit outside of the current share plan limits and therefore be in addition to the current 10% limit that applies to awards under the LTIP and the Company's Save As You Earn scheme.
The number of Ordinary Shares under award will be determined and vest at the end of the 5 year performance period, or earlier in the event of a change of control of the Company, and will be calculated at that time by reference to the director's percentage entitlement to the growth in value below.
Director | Position | Percentage entitlement of 10% pool |
IAN O'DOHERTY | CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER | 45% |
TIM CLANCY | CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER | 25% |
