McColl's Retail Group plc (the "Company")
Grant of Long Term Incentive Plan Award
Notification of Transactions by Executive Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs")
The Company announces that, in accordance with the rules of the McColl's Retail Group plc Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"), an LTIP award over 600,000 ordinary shares of £0.001 each was granted on 16 September 2020 to Giles David, Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
The award is subject to continued service with the Company and performance criteria aligned to the LTIP awards granted on 6 April 2020. The performance criteria are based on three-year relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") targets measured from 6 April 2020 and Earnings Per Share ("EPS") growth targets measured from a 2019 base year to the year ending November 2022. The targets are the same as those set out in the 2019 Directors' Remuneration Report ("DRR") in the Annual Report and Accounts 2019 .
The Remuneration Committee must also be satisfied that the vesting outcome when applying the EPS and TSR performance criteria is a genuine reflection of the underlying performance of the business and the Committee has full discretion to ensure that the final outturns reflect all relevant factors.
The award will vest three years after grant and a two year post vesting holding period will also apply.
