DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Moonpig Group plc was notified by the two Executive Directors of the following transactions on 6 July 2026.
DSBP vesting
The Deferred Share Bonus Award granted on 4 July 2023 in respect of the deferred element (33% of the FY24 bonus) reached the end of the 3 year holding period on 4 July 2026. As a result of the vesting of this award, the following transaction took place:
| Director | DSBP award | Dividend equivalent shares | Total shares awarded for nil consideration | Shares sold to cover income tax and NI liabilities and dealing costs | Sale price per share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Andy MacKinnon | 8,825 | 160 | 8,985 | 4,245 | £2.583462 |
LTIP vesting
The performance period for the LTIP awards that were granted on 4 July 2023 ended on 30 April 2026. The Adjusted pre-tax EPS and the TSR conditions were met and therefore 100% of the award vested. As a result of the vesting of the award, the following transaction took place:
| Director | LTIP shares vesting | Dividend equivalent shares | Total shares awarded for nil consideration | Shares sold to cover income tax and NI liabilities and dealing costs | Sale price per share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Andy MacKinnon | 529,624 | 9,635 | 539,259 | 254,726 | £2.583462 |
Buyout awards vesting
The Buyout Award I and Buyout Award IV granted to Catherine Faiers on 30 June 2026 became available to vest immediately, aligning with the normal vesting dates of the Autotrader Group plc awards they replaced. As a result of the vesting of the awards, the following transactions took place:
| Director | Buyout Award | Buyout Award shares vesting | Shares sold to cover income tax and NI liabilities and dealing costs | Sale price per share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Catherine Faiers | I | 131,804 | 62,260 | £2.583462 |
| Catherine Faiers | IV | 103,615 | 48,944 | £2.583462 |
All the above awards were satisfied through the transfer of shares from an Employee Benefit Trust (EBT). The balance of shares under each vested award not sold to cover income tax, NI and dealing costs were transferred to the Executive Directors from the EBT. Shares from the LTIP awards and Buyout Award I are subject to a two-year post-vesting holding period.
