NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF

PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

 

8 July 2025

 

Moonpig Group plc was notified by the two Executive Directors of the following transactions on 7 July 2025.

 

DSBP vesting

The Deferred Share Bonus Awards granted on 5 July 2022 in respect of the deferred element (33% of the FY22 bonus) reached the end of the 3 year holding period on 5 July 2025. As a result of the vesting of those awards, the following transactions took place:

 

DirectorDSBP awardDividend equivalent sharesTotal shares awarded for nil considerationShares sold to cover income tax and NI liabilities and dealing costsSale price per share
Nickyl Raithatha121,920548122,46857,850£2.15104
Andy MacKinnon78,82735479,18137,403£2.15104
  LTIP award The performance period for the LTIP awards that were granted on 5 July 2022 ended on 30 April 2025. The Adjusted pre-tax EPS condition was not met, however the threshold TSR target was met and therefore 13.9% of the awards have vested. As a result of the vesting of those awards, the following transactions took place:  
DirectorLTIP shares vestingDividend equivalent sharesTotal shares awarded for nil considerationShares sold to cover income tax and NI liabilities and dealing costsSale price per share
Nickyl Raithatha63,43628563,72130,100£2.15104
Andy MacKinnon30,76113830,89914,596£2.15104
  Both the DSBP awards and the LTIP awards were satisfied through the transfer of shares from an Employee Benefit Trust (EBT). This is consistent with the Group's intention, communicated in the FY25 full year results announcement, that share awards should where appropriate (having regard to the share price) be satisfied through market purchases rather than through the issue of new shares. The balance of shares under each vested award not sold to cover income tax, NI and dealing costs were transferred to the Executive Directors from the EBT and are subject to a two-year post-vesting holding period.   The Executive Directors' shareholdings following these transactions are set out below:

Nickyl Raithatha3,849,3531.17Yes
Andy MacKinnon1,069,5230.33Yes
  Following the transactions the EBT holds 375,743 shares in the Company, representing 0.11% of the issued share capital as at the date of this announcement.   The relevant notifications set out below is provided in accordance with the requirements of Article 19 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation.    Moonpig Group plc   NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
