J Sainsbury plc
(the 'Company')
Directors/PDMRs Shareholding
On 2 June 2023, the following Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ('PDMRs') were granted awards under the J Sainsbury plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2016 ('LTIP'). The awards were granted as nil-cost options over ordinary shares of 284/7 pence each in the Company ('Shares') as set out below:
Leaders' Share Award ('LSAs')
PDMRs | Number of Shares |
Simon Roberts (Director) | 862,500 |
Bláthnaid Bergin (Director) | 535,714 |
Rhian Bartlett | 377,142 |
Graham Biggart | 342,857 |
Jim Brown | 345,660 |
Tim Fallowfield | 266,142 |
Mark Given | 354,857 |
Prerana Issar | 329,670 |
Clodagh Moriarty | 395,604 |
Paula Nickolds | 354,857 |
(1) The LSAs are subject to performance conditions measured over three financial years. The LSAs will normally vest after three years, subject to the achievement of the performance conditions.
(2) The maximum potential number of shares were awarded at the date of grant. The final number of shares will be adjusted against a performance outturn of between 0% and 100% at the end of the three-year performance period.
(3) The LSAs for Simon Roberts and Bláthnaid Bergin will be subject to an additional retention period, meaning that any vested LSAs will be released five years after the date of grant.
(4) Dividend equivalents may be delivered (either in cash or Shares) in respect of dividends accrued on any Shares which subsequently vest.
(5) The share price to determine the number of Shares awarded was based on the five dealing day average Share price prior to the grant date.
(6) To comply with PRA and FCA banking regulations, the number of shares awarded to Jim Brown will not be increased to reflect any dividends accrued during the award's vesting period. However, a one-time fair value adjustment to his award was made at the point of grant based on a forecasted dividend yield over the vesting period to reflect the absence of dividend equivalents accrued during the vesting period.
The PDMRs were also granted Shares under the LTIP as set out below:

Tim Fallowfield | 96,259 |

(1) The BSAs were granted based on performance during the 2022/23 financial year.
(2) The BSAs will vest following a two-year retention period, except for Jim Brown's award, which will vest after a three-year retention period.
(3) Dividend equivalents may be delivered (either in cash or Shares) in respect of dividends accrued on any Shares which subsequently vest.
(4) The share price to determine the number of Shares awarded was based on the five dealing days average Share price prior to the grant date.
(5) To comply with PRA and FCA banking regulations, the number of shares awarded to Jim Brown will not be increased to reflect any dividends accrued during the award's retention period. However, a one-time fair value adjustment to his award was made at the point of grant based on a forecasted dividend yield over the retention period to reflect the absence of dividend equivalents accrued during the retention period.
