discharging managerial responsibilities:

 James Wilcox  President Team Wendy       US                    20,569

The LTIP Awards were granted as nil cost options for the three UK resident
PDMRs and as a conditional award for James Wilcox who is resident in the
US.  The LTIP Awards will ordinarily become exercisable from (or vest on as
relevant) 26 November 2027, subject to the grantee's continued service and the
Remuneration Committee's assessment of the extent to which the performance
conditions applicable to the LTIP Awards are satisfied.

Fifty percent of each LTIP Award is subject to a performance condition
relating to the Group's adjusted basic earnings per share ("EPS"). No portion
of the EPS element may vest unless the adjusted EPS for the financial year
ending 30 September 2027 ("FY27") is at least 100 US cents, for which 0% of
the EPS element may vest, rising on a straight-line basis to full vesting of
the EPS element for EPS of 140 US cents or better.

Thirty percent of each LTIP Award is subject to a performance condition
relating to the Group's return on invested capital ("ROIC"). No portion of the
ROIC element may vest unless the ROIC for FY27 is at least 18%, for which 0%
of the ROIC element may vest, rising on a straight-line basis to full vesting
of the ROIC element for ROIC of 22% or better.

The balance of each LTIP Award is subject to a performance condition relating
to total shareholder return ("TSR"). No portion of the TSR element may vest
unless TSR (as defined) is at least £16, for which 0% of the TSR element may
vest, rising on a straight-line basis to full vesting of the TSR element for
TSR of £20 or higher. TSR for the purposes of the TSR element is the average
of the closing prices for ordinary shares the Company for dealing days in the
period 1 July 2027 to 30 September 2027 inclusive aggregated with the value of
the dividends with record dates in the period 1 October 2024 to 30 September
2027.

The Remuneration Committee retains a general discretion to reduce the extent
of vesting of an LTIP Award if it considers that the overall performance of
the Company or the grantee does not justify the level of vesting that would
otherwise apply.

The LTIP Awards to the Company's Executive Directors are subject to a two year
post vesting holding period on a net of tax basis.

Fuller details of the performance conditions applicable to the LTIP Awards
will be set out in the Company's Directors' Remuneration Report for the year
ending 30 September 2024.
