Joules Group plc

('Joules', the 'Company' or the 'Group')

Director/PDMR Share Dealing

Grant of FY21 awards to Directors under the LTIP

Joules, the premium British lifestyle brand, today announces that it has granted options over ordinary shares of 1p each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") under the Joules LTIP to the Directors as set out below. These LTIP options are subject to a three-year vesting period and stretching performance conditions which include EPS, as well as an additional share price performance element once the EPS proportion has been met.

Number of options granted:

 
 Director      Total number of options 
                granted under LTIP award 
 Nick Jones    1,008,000 
              -------------------------- 
 Marc Dench    540,600 
              -------------------------- 
 Tom Joule     273,360 
              -------------------------- 
 

The number of options granted as part of this year's award exceeds the Group's normal LTIP limit (being 150% of salary), however this was considered appropriate to ensure a motivational incentive is in place which is aligned to maximising shareholder value over the coming years. The Remuneration Committee will engage with shareholders in advance of utilising the exceptional limit in any future years, as it has done this year.

Waiving of Options

Furthermore, as a consequence of the above awards being made, the Directors as set out below, have waived certain options over Ordinary Shares in consideration for these new awards.

Number of options waived:

 
               FY19 LTIP options   FY20 LTIP options   Total LTIP options

The waiver of these options is in addition to the waiver by Nick Jones of 65,625 options over Ordinary Shares awarded in April 2020, and the waiver by Marc Dench of 42,234 options over Ordinary Shares awarded in April 2020, as announced on 28 September 2020.
