RNS Number : 7064R Marks and Spencer Group PLC 07 July 2022
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Marks and Spencer Group plc (the 'Company') announces that on 5 July 2022 it
was notified of the following transactions in the Company's Ordinary 1p shares
undertaken by directors / persons discharging managerial responsibility
('PDMRs').
1. Performance Share Plan Award 2022/23
The Performance Share Plan ('PSP') continues to be the Company's primary
long-term incentive plan for executives. As a result, awards under the PSP
were made on 5 July 2022 to five PDMRs of the Company.
These awards were granted as conditional shares, the vesting of which is
subject to the continued employment of the participant and satisfaction of
certain performance conditions, as disclosed in the Company's 2022 Annual
Report published on 7 June 2022. Specifically, the vesting of the award will
depend on relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR), the Company's Earnings Per
Share (EPS), Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and strategic measures over a
fixed three-year performance period starting on the first day of the financial
year in which the award was granted.
On vesting, the award is subject to an additional, mandatory two-year holding
period, making a total period of five years post grant. The value of dividends
accrued, in the form of dividend equivalents, will be paid at the end of the
period (third anniversary) based on the number of vested shares. No
consideration was paid for the grant of the award. For the purposes of this
award, the five-day average share price immediately preceding the date of
grant of £1.3961 was used.
2. Deferred Share Bonus Plan Award 2021/22
As reported within the Company's 2022 Annual Report, a bonus is being paid to
all eligible colleagues under the Company's Annual Bonus Scheme for 2021/22.
Individuals were required to defer 50% of their bonus earned into shares under
the Marks and Spencer Group Deferred Share Bonus Plan ('DSBP'). As a result,
awards under the DSBP were made to the same five PDMRs of the Company on 5
July 2022.
These awards were granted as conditional share awards vesting three years from
the date of grant. The value of dividends accrued, in the form of dividend
equivalents, will be paid at the point of vesting. No consideration was paid
for the grant of the award. For the purposes of this award, the five-day
average share price immediately preceding the date of grant of £1.3961 was
used.
