Notification of Transactions of Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities

TheWorks.co.uk plc, one of the UK's leading multi-channel specialist retailers of value gifts, arts, crafts, toys, books and stationery, announces that on 3 September 2019, the Company granted awards over ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company under the The Works.co.uk 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP Awards") and the The Works.co.uk 2018 Long Term Incentive (CSOP Options) Plan ("CSOP Awards").

Name of individual	Position / status	Type of award	Number of shares subject to LTIP Award
Kevin Keaney	Chief Executive Officer	LTIP Award - nil cost option	388,456
Gavin Peck	Chief Financial Officer	LTIP Award - nil cost option	250,617
Andrea Bennett	Trading Director - PDMR	LTIP Award - nil cost option	143,321

On the same date, each individual set out above was granted a tax qualifying CSOP Award over 37,037 shares at a per share exercise price of 81 pence under the TheWorks.co.uk 2018 Long Term Incentive (CSOP Options) Plan.  Each CSOP Award is linked to the LTIP Award such that, at the time of exercise, to the extent that there is a gain in the CSOP Award, the LTIP Award will be forfeited to the value of that gain to ensure that the total pre-tax value of the original LTIP Award is not increased by the grant of the CSOP Award.

The release of all the above awards is subject to the achievement of performance targets as set out in the Company's Directors' Remuneration Report for the year ended 28 April 2019. 

The awards granted to Kevin Keaney and Gavin Peck are subject to a two year holding period beginning on the date on which the awards vest and will be released immediately following the end of the holding period.
