Long Term Incentive Awards

As part of a wider award to senior management, Design Group today announces it intends to issue up to 145,770 ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to Paul Fineman (Group CEO), 116,616 Ordinary Shares to Anthony Lawrinson (Group CFO) and 107,870 Ordinary Shares to Lance Burn (Director) under the Long Term Incentive Plan announced on 31 March 2014.

The issue of Ordinary Shares set out above is conditional upon, and proportionate to, the achievement of two performance conditions over a defined period from 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2019.  Those performance conditions are:

·    Growth in fully diluted earnings per share before exceptional items (60%)

·    Growth in profit before tax before exceptional items (40%)

Growth targets range from 7.5% to 17.5% for EPS and 10% to 17.5% for profit over the performance period for shares to vest.  Each metric is tested independently according to the weighting above.

The cost to the Executives of the Ordinary Shares to be issued under the LTIP, if the performance criteria are met, will be nil.

As a result the three Executives will have the following interests in the Company's Ordinary Shares:

	Ordinary Shares	LTIP 2012-2015 (Vested)	LTIP  2014-2017 (Not Yet Vested)	LTIP 2015-2018 (Not Yet Vested)	LTIP 2016-2019 (Not Yet Vested)
Lance Burn	-	-	262,083	185,877	107,870

Anthony Lawrinson		500,000	283,334	160,759	116,616

*Paul Fineman owns a non-beneficial interest of a further 174,608 ordinary shares

The total number of Ordinary Shares that are subject to award to Company employees under the 2016-2019 Long Term Incentive Plan is 896,650, including the amounts stated above.
