N BROWN GROUP PLC - GRANT OF NIL COST OPTIONS
N Brown Group plc (the "Company") announces that on 06 November 2020 nil cost options were granted to its Chief Financial Officer, Rachel Izzard, over 653,672 shares ("Awards") under the terms of the N Brown Group plc 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan.
The Awards have been made to Rachel Izzard to compensate for awards forfeited upon leaving her former employer, Aer Lingus, part of the IAG Group.
The Awards will have the same vesting dates and the same performance conditions as the awards forfeited.

The performance conditions and targets for the Awards are as follows:
 | Vesting date | N Brown shares (based on the share price of 14.74p on 6 April 2020) | Performance conditions to determine vesting |
2018 IAG Group PSP Award | 08/03/2021 | 170,998 | The same performance conditions that determine the vesting of the 2018 IAG Group PSP Award |
