Director / PDMR Shareholding

 

FDM Group (Holdings) Plc ("FDM" or the "Company"), a global professional services provider with a focus on Information Technology, announces that on 3 June 2025, each of the Executive Directors named below:

 

(i)         exercised options over ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the capital of the Company ("Shares") which had been granted under the FDM Group (Holdings) Plc Performance Share Plan 2014 ("PSP"); and

 

(ii)           sold some of the Shares arising on the exercise of the PSP options for £2.2575 per Share; and

 

(iii)          retained the balance of the Shares arising on the exercise of the PSP options.

 

The PSP options exercised by each Executive Director were granted on 24 December 2020 and had an exercise price of £0.01 per Share. The PSP options vested in March 2023 but were subject to a post-vesting holding period of two years during which the Executive Directors were not entitled to exercise the PSP options. The holding period ended on 19 March 2025, following which the PSP options were released to the Executive Directors for exercise.

 

In line with the Company's Directors' Remuneration Policy, each Executive Director has also been awarded additional shares, at nil consideration, representing the post-tax value of a payment equivalent to dividends which they would have been eligible to receive during the holding period, if they had been permitted to exercise the PSP options immediately on vesting ("Dividend Equivalent Shares").  

 

PSP options were exercised and Shares sold as referred to in the following table.
