Director's Dealing - Management Incentive Plan
Further to the announcement made on 26 June 2020, the Management Incentive Plan (the "Plan") has now been implemented and participants in the Plan, including Mahmud Kamani, Carol Kane and Neil Catto have, on 26 June 2020, pursuant to the Plan, subscribed for B ordinary shares in boohoo holdings limited, an intermediary holding company of the Group.
The structure of the Plan and the proportions received by the Executive Directors are as set out in the announcement made by the Group on 26 June 2020.
Mahmud Kamani, Carol Kane and Neil Catto are related parties as defined by the AIM Rules for Companies ("the AIM Rules") given they are Directors of boohoo and the subscription of shares by each of them under the Plan is a related-party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules.
