Close Brothers Group plc

Notification of transactions by

persons discharging managerial responsibilities in Ordinary shares of the Company of 25p each (Shares)

Close Brothers Group plc (the "Company") notifies that on 2 October 2018, share awards under the Company's Omnibus Share Incentive Plan (the "Plan") were granted to the executive directors and other persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") noted below under the deferred annual bonus plan ("DAB") and long term incentive plan ("LTIP").  A share price of 1,588.8p per share has been applied to determine the number of shares awarded under each of the plans.

Deferred Annual Bonus Plan Share Awards

These awards entitle participants to call for specified amounts of their award shares at their option and at nil cost at any time during defined one year periods between 2 October 2019 and 1 October 2022. 

These entitlements will lapse if the participant leaves employment in certain circumstances and are subject to forfeiture or reduction in particular adverse circumstances.

Long Term Incentive Plan Awards

These awards entitle participants to call at any time between 2 October 2023 and 1 October 2024 at their option, at nil cost, for their award shares subject to achievement of certain performance conditions. 

The number of shares shown in the individual notifications below is the maximum available to each director or other PDMR on satisfaction, in full, of the performance targets for the LTIP.  35% of the LTIP award will be subject to a target based on the Company's average return on equity over the performance period being at least 12% per annum, with maximum vesting at 20% per annum.  A further 35% of each award will be subject to a requirement that the growth in the Company's adjusted earnings per share over the performance period must exceed 10% over that period with maximum vesting at 30% over that period.  The relevant part of a participant's award will lapse if the return on equity and or adjusted earnings per share performance is below the lower level; 25% will vest at the lower level and 100% at the top level. For performance between the two levels, the award will vest on a sliding scale.  The remaining 30% of the LTIP award will be subject to a measure which is based on risk management objectives which focus on capital and balance sheet management and risk, compliance and controls.  25% of this part of the Award will vest at threshold performance, with 100% vesting at exceptional performance and no vesting at below threshold performance.

These entitlements will lapse if the participant leaves employment in certain circumstances and are subject to forfeiture or reduction in particular adverse circumstances.

The following notifications, made pursuant to Article 19(3) of the Market Abuse Regulation, provide further details.
