Executive LTIP - PDMR Dealings

27 Oct 2017 07:00

RNS Number : 7539U
Finsbury Food Group PLC
27 October 2017
 

Date:

27 October 2017

On behalf of:

Finsbury Food Group Plc ('Finsbury', 'the Company' or 'the Group')

For immediate release

 

Finsbury Food Group Plc

Executive LTIP - PDMR Dealings

 

Finsbury Food Group Plc (AIM: FIF), a leading UK specialty bakery manufacturer of cake, bread and morning goods for both the retail and foodservice channels, announces that, under the terms of the Company's long term incentive plan ("LTIP") the following awards were granted on 26 October 2017:

 

Director

Type of option*

Number of shares subject to option

Per share exercise price of the option (£)

John Duffy, Chief Executive Officer

CSOP option

27,777

1.08

Nil-cost option

410,423

0.00

Stephen Boyd, Group Finance Director

CSOP option

27,777

1.08

Nil-cost option

287,492

0.00

*to the extent permitted by the relevant tax legislation, each participant has been granted part of his award as a tax qualifying CSOP option.

 

The value of the shares subject to each nil-cost option is 100% of the basic salary of each director, calculated using the average price of the shares over the three business days following the announcement on 18 September 2017 of the Company's preliminary results for the year ended 1 July 2017. The nil-cost option and CSOP option are linked such that, at the time of exercise, to the extent that there is a gain in the CSOP option, a proportion of the linked nil-cost option with the same value will be forfeited.

 

The Remuneration Committee has determined that in each case the vesting of these awards should be conditional upon the performance conditions set out below, to be satisfied over a period of 3 years (the "Performance Period") beginning with the start of the Company's 2018 Financial Year on 2 July 2017:

 

 

· Vesting of 50% of the award will be based upon the amount of the adjusted diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") delivered in the final Financial Year of the Performance Period determined on a straight-line basis between EPS vesting targets set by the Remuneration Committee.

 

· Vesting of 50% of the award will be based upon Relative Total Shareholder Return against the FTSE Small Cap (excluding investment trusts) ("TSR") over the Performance Period.

 

· The nil-cost options are subject to a general performance underpin, which will be assessed on a number of factors including ROCE performance, at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee. The CSOP options cannot be subject to a general performance underpin due to legislative requirements.

· The awards are also subject to a two year post vesting holding period during which they may not be exercised.

 

Mr Duffy and Mr Boyd hold, in addition to the LTIP awards set out above, 2,319,440 and 1,582,408 options over ordinary shares respectively.

 

Immediately following these awards the Company's issued share capital was 130,383,361 Ordinary Shares and there were outstanding awards (vested and unvested) under the previous and new LTIP over 6,493,130 ordinary shares (430,749 of which have been granted as linked CSOP options).
