Ramsdens Holdings PLC
("Ramsdens", the Group, or the "Company")
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Ramsdens, the diversified financial services provider and retailer, announces that on 5 April 2023, the Company adopted its Long‐Term Incentive Plan 6 (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 FY25. The intention to grant the potential conditional awards was disclosed in Ramsdens' 2022 Annual Report and Accounts, published on 17 January 2023.
In accordance with the Group's remuneration strategy, the Plan extends to 15 members of the Senior Management Team, as well as CEO Peter Kenyon and CFO Martin Clyburn (the "Executive Directors"). The awards granted over 1p Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") are under one incentive plan, however the Plan comprises two types of awards, a wholly conditional award Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") and a Company Share Option Plan (the "CSOP"). Vested awards under the LTIP are exercisable at 1 pence per share and under the CSOP are exercisable at 230 pence per share.
The Executive Directors have been granted a total of 170,000 shares under the LTIP, to vest in 2026 in accordance with the Plan rules. These shares are 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 2025.
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 188,000 shares have been issued pursuant to the LTIP scheme to 13 members of the Senior Management Team, including Michael Johnson (Operations Director) and Jason Carr (IT Director) with the same performance criteria and rules.
In addition, 150,000 shares have been issued under the CSOP scheme to 20 members of the Senior Management Team. These awards have no performance criteria but include malus and clawback provisions. Participants who leave the Company before vesting will lose their award, subject to certain limited 'good leaver' conditions.
The following table summarises the awards issued.
