Director/PDMR Shareholdings

Carr's (CARR.L), the Agriculture and Engineering Group, announces the following awards of options over ordinary shares in the Company of 2.5p each ("Ordinary Shares") to certain PDMRs.

Awards under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan 2013 (the "LTIP")

On 11 November 2019 (the "Award Date"), awards were made under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan 2013 (the "Options"). The Options are exercisable for nil consideration, subject to the rules of the LTIP and to the satisfaction of the applicable performance targets.

Owing to acquisitions made during the financial year ended 31 August 2019, the Company's Remuneration Committee has determined to award the Options subject to an inflated initial base adjusted EPS in order to ensure that performance targets remain stretching.  The initial base adjusted EPS figure has accordingly been increased from 14.60 pence per share to 15.78 pence per share.

No consideration was payable on the award of the Options.

The Options will be exercisable (to the extent performance targets are met) from the third anniversary of the Award Date to the tenth anniversary of the Award Date.

The Options have been awarded to certain PDMRs as follows:
