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 22 August 2018, 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 Award")
and the The Works.co.uk 2018 Long Term Incentive (CSOP Options)
Plan ("CSOP Award"):

On the same date, each individual set out above was granted a
tax qualifying CSOP Award over 17,543 shares at a per share
exercise price of 171 pence under the The Works.co.uk 2018 Long
Term Incentive (CSOP Options) Plan. The CSOP Awards are 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 delivered to the
participant 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. In respect of these grants the
performance conditions will be determined by reference to the
Company's Earnings per Share (EPS) over a three year performance
period. The release of the awards will be subject to an additional
underpin performance condition, such that the awards will only
become capable of release if the Board determines that the level of
release reflects the overall financial performance of the Company
over the performance period. If the underpin performance condition
is not met, the awards will lapse in full.
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.
