The Property Franchise Group PLC
("TPFG", the "Company" or the "Group")
Amendment to Option Scheme and grant to PDMR
Further to the Company's announcements dated 9 June 2017 and 15 September 2017 regarding the implementation of the TPFG Share Option Plan (the "Option Plan") and the grant of options to Ian Wilson and David Raggett and other PDMRs, the Company announces that the Board have agreed to roll the arrangements forward by one year, such that the performance period runs until 31 December 2020. The roll-forward has been structured as the grant to each individual of a new nil-cost option "in parallel" to, and over the same number of shares as, the option originally granted to him or her so that: (1) if the option originally granted is exercised, the new option will lapse; and (2) if the new option is to be exercised, the original option must either have lapsed or been released. Therefore, the participant will only be able to benefit from one of the options granted to him or her. The other terms and the EPS growth hurdles are the same as for the original options.
New grant
The Company also announces that Louise Griffiths, a person discharging managerial responsibility (PDMR), has been granted a nil-cost option under the Option Plan over 150,000 shares which will vest subject to the satisfaction of the same performance target.
Further detail is provided below in accordance with Article 19.3 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
