Nature of the transaction

Option granted to Director on 20 May 2021 under the Restricted Share Plan 2021.

This option will be exercisable for 90 days following vesting. No performance measures are applied on vesting, but the Committee will take into account the following factors (amongst others) when determining whether to exercise its discretion to adjust the number of shares vesting:

• The Committee undertakes a thorough 'quality of earnings' assessment every year prior to the finalisation of any annual bonus outcomes. It is proposed that these will also be used to inform the assessment of awards under the RSP. The annual quality of earnings assessment takes into account financial performance as well as guest experience and employee engagement along with a broader-based holistic assessment of business performance and the achievement of KPIs;

• Whether there has been material damage to the reputation of the Company (in such circumstances, responsibility and hence any adjustments to the level of vesting may be allocated collectively or individually to participants); and

• That the business has a stable and appropriate capital structure in place following the cessation of restrictions on trade due to the Covid-19 pandemic that enables the recovery of the business and execution of the Company's strategic priorities.

Subject to a dividend being paid or payable, and once, and to the extent that, the shares under the option granted have vested, the participant will be granted a further option over Dividend Accrued Shares.

In accordance with the Company's Remuneration Policy, a post vesting holding period applies which requires Shares received pursuant to such awards to be retained for a period of two years from the end of the vesting period, except for Shares sold to pay income tax and national insurance contributions arising upon vesting/exercise.

c) 

Price(s) and volume(s) 

 The option is granted over a maximum of 173,807 Shares. The share price used to determine the number of Shares under option was £3.081 per Share (being the average of the middle market quotation of a Share for the three days of 17/18/19 May 2021).

No amount was payable on the grant of the option.
