Vanquis Banking Group plc ("the Company")
Director/PDMR Transaction - Initial Notification
The Company announces that it has granted the following awards on 7 May 2024 over the Company's ordinary shares of 20 8/11p ("Shares") as follows:
1. nil-cost options over 847,599 and 643,006 Shares for no consideration to Ian McLaughlin and David Watts respectively, who are directors/persons discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs") in the Company, under the 2020 Restricted Share Plan (the "RSP Options").
The number of ordinary shares awarded under the RSP Options is based on the average closing share price on the London Stock Exchange between 29 April 2024 and 3 May 2024 of £0.4790. The number of shares granted reflects a downwards adjustment to the grant value of the awards of 44%. In making this downwards adjustment, the Remuneration Committee considered its internal Policy to take into account the potential windfall gain and share dilution. A further assessment will be made at the point of vest as part of the RSP performance underpin. There has been no additional discount from the price at grant to reflect the absence of dividend equivalents during the vesting period and no market value options linked to the RSP Options have been granted under the 2020 Restricted Share Plan (CSOP Options).
