Executive LTIP - PDMR Dealings

Finsbury Food Group Plc (AIM: FIF), a leading UK specialty bakery manufacturer of cake, bread and morning goods for both the retail and foodservice channels, announces that, under the terms of the Company's long term incentive plan ("LTIP") the following awards were granted on 26 October 2017:

 
 Director            Type of        Number of         Per share exercise 
                      option*        shares subject    price of the 
                                     to option         option (GBP) 
------------------  -------------  ----------------  ------------------- 
 John Duffy, 
  Chief Executive 
  Officer            CSOP option    27,777            1.08 
------------------  -------------  ----------------  ------------------- 
  Nil-cost 
   option                           410,423           0.00 
 --------------------------------  ----------------  ------------------- 
 Stephen Boyd, 
  Group Finance 
  Director           CSOP option    27,777            1.08 
------------------  -------------  ----------------  ------------------- 
  Nil-cost 
   option                           287,492           0.00 
 --------------------------------  ----------------  ------------------- 
 

*to the extent permitted by the relevant tax legislation, each participant has been granted part of his award as a tax qualifying CSOP option.

The value of the shares subject to each nil-cost option is 100% of the basic salary of each director, calculated using the average price of the shares over the three business days following the announcement on 18 September 2017 of the Company's preliminary results for the year ended 1 July 2017. The nil-cost option and CSOP option are linked such that, at the time of exercise, to the extent that there is a gain in the CSOP option, a proportion of the linked nil-cost option with the same value will be forfeited.

The Remuneration Committee has determined that in each case the vesting of these awards should be conditional upon the performance conditions set out below, to be satisfied over a period of 3 years (the "Performance Period") beginning with the start of the Company's 2018 Financial Year on 2 July 2017:

 
 
       *    Vesting of 50% of the award will be based upon the 
            amount of the adjusted diluted Earnings Per Share 
            ("EPS") delivered in the final Financial Year of the 
            Performance Period determined on a straight-line 
            basis between EPS vesting targets set by the 
            Remuneration Committee. 
 
       *    Vesting of 50% of the award will be based upon 
            Relative Total Shareholder Return against the FTSE 
            Small Cap (excluding investment trusts) ("TSR") over 
            the Performance Period. 
 
             *    The nil-cost options are subject to a general 
                  performance underpin, which will be assessed on a 
                  number of factors including ROCE performance, at the 
                  discretion of the Remuneration Committee. The CSOP 
                  options cannot be subject to a general performance 
                  underpin due to legislative requirements. 
 
 
             *    The awards are also subject to a two year post 
                  vesting holding period during which they may not be 
                  exercised. 
 

Mr Duffy and Mr Boyd hold, in addition to the LTIP awards set out above, 2,319,440 and 1,582,408 options over ordinary shares respectively.

Immediately following these awards the Company's issued share capital was 130,383,361 Ordinary Shares and there were outstanding awards (vested and unvested) under the previous and new LTIP over 6,493,130 ordinary shares (430,749 of which have been granted as linked CSOP options).
