Grant of award under the Company's 2017 Performance Share Plan ("PSP")

On 25 September 2017, Headlam Group plc granted an award in the form of nil-cost options over ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") under the PSP to the following Director:

 
 Director               Number of Ordinary 
                         Shares over which 
                           award granted 
---------------------  ------------------- 
 Chris Payne (Chief 
  Financial Officer)          48,435 
---------------------  ------------------- 
 

The award has been granted subject to performance conditions based on: (1) compound annual growth in Earnings Per Share over a three year performance period starting with 2017 (as regards 80% of the Ordinary Shares subject to the award); and (2) the Company's Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") over that performance period relative to the TSRs of the constituents of the FTSE SmallCap Index (excluding investment trusts) (as regards 20% of the Ordinary Shares subject to the award). The award is subject to a further performance condition that the extent of vesting reflects the overall financial performance of the Company over the performance period.

The award will, ordinarily, vest on the date on which the Company's Remuneration Committee determines the extent to which the performance conditions have been satisfied.

The award will be released so that the participant is entitled to acquire the vested Ordinary Shares following the end of a holding period which shall end on the second anniversary of the vesting date.
