Grainger plc
("Grainger" or the "Company")
Grant of Options under the Employee Save As You Earn Scheme and PDMR Dealings
Following new invitations to participate in the Company's established SAYE Scheme, which is approved by H.M. Revenue and Customs (the "SAYE Scheme"), the Company provides the following update.
Pursuant to the SAYE Scheme, certain employees have elected to participate, resulting in options over a total of 335,556 ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the Company ("SAYE Options") being granted on 8 July 2025 at a price of 173 pence per share, being calculated in accordance with the rules of the SAYE Scheme.
The following persons discharging management responsibility ("PDMRs") have elected to participate in the SAYE Scheme and their SAYE Options are included in the total figures above.
Name | Position | Number of SAYE Options
|
Robert Hudson | Chief Financial Officer/Director
| 10,606 |
Michael Keaveney | Director of Land and Development / PDMR
| 10,606 |
Eliza Pattinson | Director of Operations and Asset Management / PDMR
| 2,121 |
Subject to the rules of the SAYE Scheme, the SAYE Options are exercisable between September 2028 and February 2029. The exercise of the SAYE Options is not dependent upon the satisfaction of performance criteria and participants who choose to exercise their entitlements pursuant to the rules of the SAYE Scheme will meet the obligation to pay for the exercise of the SAYE Options out of funds they have paid into the SAYE Scheme prior to such exercise. Participants in the SAYE Scheme may opt to withdraw from the SAYE Scheme, recovering paid-in funds, prior to that time.
