Crest Nicholson Holdings plc
Director/PDMR Shareholding
In accordance with notification obligations under article 19.3 of the Market Abuse Regulation, Crest Nicholson Holdings plc (the "Company") announces the following transactions by certain Directors of the Company and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMRs") under the Crest Nicholson Holdings plc Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") and the Crest Nicholson Holdings plc Deferred Bonus Plan (the "DBP").
On 27 February 2015 certain Directors and PDMRs were granted options under the LTIP and DBP (the "Options") exercisable after three years.
LTIP
On 27 February 2018 100% of the awards granted under the LTIP Options became exercisable following satisfaction of the performance conditions (relating to return on capital employed, and growth in profit before tax per share).
DBP
On 27 February 2018 the awards granted under the DBP also became exercisable following satisfaction of the three year service period. In accordance with the rules of the plan, additional shares were added to each award, equivalent to the dividends payable during the service period.
Exercise of Options
On 7 March 2018, the Directors and PDMRs exercised the Options (over Ordinary Shares of 5 pence each in the Company) ("Shares"). Some Directors and PDMRs sold all the Shares awarded to them, others sold sufficient Shares to meet income tax and national insurance liabilities, retaining the balance. The Company allotted shares from the Company's block listing facility to satisfy the exercise of the Options.
