("Carr's", the "Company", or the "Group")
Director/PDMR Shareholdings
Carr's (CARR.L), the agriculture and engineering group, announces the following awards of options over ordinary shares in the Company of 2.5p each ("Ordinary Shares") to certain PDMRs.
Awards under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan 2013 (the "LTIP")
On 19 December 2018 (the "Award Date"), awards were made under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan 2013 (the "Options"). The Options are exercisable for nil consideration, subject to the rules of the LTIP and to the satisfaction of the applicable performance targets.
Owing to the Company's expected performance during the relevant performance period, the Company's Remuneration Committee has determined to award the Options subject to an inflated initial base Adjusted EPS in order to ensure that performance targets remain stretching. The initial base Adjusted EPS figure has accordingly been increased from 13.9 pence per share to 15.2 pence per share.
No consideration was payable on the grant of the Awards.
The Options will be exercisable (to the extent the performance targets are met) from the third anniversary of the respective Award Dates to the tenth anniversary of the respective Award Dates.
The Options have been awarded to certain PDMRs as follows:
