James Cropper Plc
(the "Company")
Notification of Transaction of Person Discharging Managerial Responsibility
("PDMR")
The Company was notified on 8 August 2019 that, on the same day, the Trustees of James Cropper Plc Share Incentive Plan ("JC SIP Plan") transferred 374 ordinary shares of 25p each ("Shares") in the Company to a participant of the SIP Scheme.
The Shares were awarded to the participant on:
Date of award | Number of Shares | Price per Share |
18 July 2016 | 201 | 734.25p |
25 July 2017 | 94 | 1682.5p |
19 July 2018 | 79 | 1461.5p |
Beneficial rights to participants are recognised immediately upon reward.
The SIP trust holds Shares for a 5-year period from the date of the award and then transfers the Shares to the participants. The Shares have been transferred to the participant earlier as, under the Scheme rules, the participant is deemed to be a leaver.
As a result of the above transactions, the JC SIP Plan is interested in 126,658 Shares, representing 1.3% of the issued share capital of the Company.
As a result of the change in interest of the JC SIP Plan, the non-beneficial interest of David Nicholson (PDMR) was decreased by 374 Shares.
