Share incentive awards granted to Nick Wilkinson and Karen Witts
On 27 October 2022 share incentive awards were granted to Nick Wilkinson (Chief Executive) and Karen Witts (Chief Financial Officer) as set out below.
The awards have been made in accordance with the 2020 remuneration policy approved by shareholders on 17 November 2020 (the "2020 Policy").
Long Term Incentive Plan
Awards were granted over ordinary shares of one pence each in Dunelm Group plc, in the form of a nil cost option.
Using the average closing share price over the three days preceding the grant date being 27 October 2022, awards have been granted as follows:
Name | Salary | 200% of salary | Share price used to calculate number of nil cost options | Number of shares in award |
Nick Wilkinson | £582,125 | £1,164,250 | £8.33 | 139,765 |
Karen Witts | £450,000 | £900,000 | £8.33 | 108,043 |
The options may be exercised on or after 27 October 2025, subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions over the three financial periods commencing on 3 July 2022. These performance conditions are detailed in the Company's FY22 Annual Report.
On exercise, Mr Wilkinson and Mrs Witts have each committed to retain all of the shares vesting (after sale to cover tax and national insurance liability on exercise), until 27 October 2027, and at least two thirds of these for the duration of employment. In addition, shareholding requirements apply for the duration of employment and for two years from termination of employment, as set out in the 2020 Policy.
In line with its 2020 Policy, the Remuneration Committee can apply malus or clawback to the award and has discretion to vary formulaic outturns where this does not reflect underlying performance or is inappropriate in the context of unexpected or unforeseen circumstances.
