RNS Number : 9768C  Wickes Group PLC  31 March 2025

Wickes Group PLC

(the 'Company')

 

Notifications of transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial

Responsibilities ('PDMRs')

 

The Company announces that on 28 March 2025 (the 'Grant Date') the following
awards in respect of ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company
('Shares') were made by way of nil cost option under the Wickes Deferred
Annual Bonus Plan (the 'DABP') and the Wickes Long Term Incentive Plan (the
'LTIP') to PDMRs as set out below.  Further details can be found in the
Directors' Remuneration Report contained in the Company's Annual Report for
the year ended 28 December 2024.

 

The number of shares subject to the options awarded has been calculated using
a share price of 175.76 pence, being the average of the closing market prices
of the Company's Shares on the five dealing days immediately preceding the
Grant Date.

 

 Award  PDMR         Number of      Option Price

                     Shares

                     under option
 DABP   David Wood   112,990        nil
 DABP   Mark George  59,261         nil
 LTIP   David Wood   663,120        nil
 LTIP   Mark George  356,538        nil

 

The options under the DABP will vest on 28 March 2028.

 

The options under the LTIP will vest on 28 March 2028 subject to the
achievement of performance conditions.  Vested options will be subject to a
two year holding period.

 

If options vest they will normally be exercisable until the tenth anniversary
of the Grant Date.

 

In the event that dividends are paid in the period between the Grant Date and
the normal vesting date (or, where Shares under an option are subject to a
holding period, the earlier of the date of expiry of the holding period or the
date of exercise of the option), the number of shares awarded will be
increased to reflect the dividends that would have accrued had they been
reinvested in shares.

 

This Notification is made in accordance with the requirements of the UK Market
Abuse Regulation. The Notification of Dealing Forms for each PDMR can be found
below.
