NOTIFICATION DEALING WITH GRANT OF AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN

 

Dixons Carphone plc (the "Company")

Notification and public disclosure of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMR") and persons closely associated with them in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulations.

Awards under the Dixons Carphone plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2016

On 2 August 2021, the following awards over ordinary shares of 0.1 pence in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") were granted under the Dixons Carphone plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2016 ("LTIP"):

The share price for the Awards (each a nil cost option) was calculated using the mid-market price on the business day prior to grant, being 30 July 2021.

The number of Ordinary Shares stated above is the maximum number that could vest to each PDMR upon full satisfaction of the performance conditions attaching to the Awards.

The Awards will ordinarily vest and become exercisable on 2 August 2024 (the "Vesting Date"), subject to each PDMR's continued service with the Company and the extent to which the performance conditions applicable to the Awards are achieved. In the case of the awards granted to Alex Baldock and Bruce Marsh, any Ordinary Shares which vest will be subject to an additional two-year holding period (on a net of tax basis) from the Vesting Date.

The performance conditions applicable to the Award are two equally weighted performance measures:

1) Relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR")

One half of each Award is subject to the achievement of a relative TSR performance condition, measured against a bespoke comparator group comprised of 21 European Special Lines Retailers[1] and other comparable companies. The starting point for measurement will be 2 May 2021 and the closing point will be 1 May 2024 with one month averaging periods up to the beginning and end of the performance period. 25% of this portion of the Award will vest for achievement of median TSR versus the comparator group, with maximum vesting at upper quartile or above and straight-line vesting between these two points.

2) Cumulative Free Cash Flow

The other half of the Award is subject to the achievement of a performance condition measuring the Company's cumulative free cash flow over the three-year period starting on 2 May 2021 and ending on 1 May 2024. 10% of this portion of the Award will vest if cumulative free cash flow over the three-year period is £504m, rising to 25% of this portion of the Award vesting if cumulative free cash flow over the three-year period is £593m, and with maximum vesting if cumulative free cash flow over the three-year period is £682m or higher, and straight-line vesting between these points.

The Remuneration Committee believes that these targets represent a significant degree of stretch. In determining the targets, the Committee took account of the fact that there had been a one-off receipt of a £189m outstanding receivable from EE in FY21, which would not be repeated during the FY22-24 performance period of this award.

As at the date of this announcement, the Company has 1,166,458,443 Ordinary Shares in issue.
