Grant of awards under existing long term incentive plan ("LTIP")

On the 19^th August 2019 the Company issued conditional awards and nil-cost options over 1,017,153 ordinary shares of 7.5 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") under its long term incentive plan ("LTIP") to 296 employees.

The number of Ordinary Shares subject to the LTIP awards has been determined by reference to the preceding three-month average price of a share on the London Stock Exchange on 14^th June 2019 (£2.5745 pence per share). 

The LTIP awards will normally vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to meeting certain strategic, operational, financial and shareholder return performance criteria and the continued employment of the participant. Clawback provisions contained in the rules of the LTIP can be applied to awards made to all participants.  

Included in the 296 employees are six PDMRs (Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities) who received conditional LTIP awards as follows: 

Name	Title	Maximum number of Ordinary Shares conditionally awarded	Total number of Ordinary Shares held subject to LTIP award
James Crawford	Chief Financial Officer	77 685	77 685
Joshua Lincoln	Managing Director Majestic Retail	58 264	58 264
Nick Devlin	Chief Operating Officer & Managing Director Naked Wines USA	82 427	82 427
Katy Andersen	Managing Director Lay & Wheeler	44 669	44 669
Olivia Fitzgerald	Managing Director Majestic Commercial	46 611	46 611
Derek Hardy	Chief Technology Officer	77 685	77 685

Following these grant of the LTIP awards the Company has a total of 72,816,733 Ordinary Shares in issue. There are 2,841,638 unvested conditional share awards and unexercised options issued under employee share schemes ⁽¹⁾, equating to approximately 3.9% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury.  Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 72,816,733.

The figure of 72,816,733 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest, or a change to their interest, in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Note:

(1)   The shares in the Share Incentive Plan (UK) are issued and held in trust and thus are not included in the calculation of the unvested conditional share awards

Clarification regarding announcement on the 21 June 2019 

On 21 June 2019, the Company announced that PDMR, Greg Banbury, had a total shareholding in the Company of 42,232, which was correct although it was inconsistent with the calculation based on previous announcements. A discrepancy of 418 shares in his shareholding was the result of an award of 418 dividend shares. These dividend shares had been added to the total of Greg Banbury's total shareholding, but no separate announcement had been made in respect of these dividend shares which were below the regulatory limits and awarded in December 2018.
