("Ramsdens", the Group, or the "Company")

 

Director/PDMR Shareholding

 

Ramsdens, the diversified financial services provider and retailer, announces that on 24 April 2025, the Company adopted its Long‐Term Incentive Plan 8 (the "Plan"). The Plan follows the principles of the Group's existing LTIPs, in recognising the contribution of the management team for the three years to FY27. The intention to grant the potential conditional awards was disclosed in Ramsdens' 2024 Annual Report and Accounts, published on 14 January 2025.

 

In accordance with the Group's remuneration strategy, the Plan extends to five members of the Senior Management Team, including CEO Peter Kenyon and CFO Martin Clyburn (the "Executive Directors"). The award grants options over 1p Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares"), with vested awards under the Plan exercisable at 1 pence per share.

 

The Executive Directors have been granted a total of 180,000 LTIP shares, to vest in 2027 in accordance with the Plan rules and subject to the achievement of performance targets, with 50% of any award linked to targeted increases in the Earnings per Share of the Company, and the remaining 50% of any award based on the delivery of the Total Shareholder Return. These targets will be measured over the three financial years to 30 September 2027.

 

These grants represent the maximum possible share awards to the Executive Directors should the performance targets be achieved in full. The Plan rules include malus and clawback provisions.

 

A further 110,000 LTIP shares have been issued pursuant to the Plan to three members of the Senior Management Team, including Michael Johnson (Operations Director), Jason Carr (IT Director) and Mark Smith (Finance Director) with the same performance criteria and rules.

 

The following table summarises the awards issued.
