Modifications to Long Term Incentive Plan

Pittards plc, the specialist producer of technically advanced leather and luxury leather goods for retailers, manufacturers and distributors, announces that the Group's Remuneration Committee has extended and modified the Group's 2016 LTIP (the "Scheme") established to incentivise the Company's directors.

The Scheme has been extended by 27 months and now vests in March 2022. In addition, the Scheme has been converted to a growth share scheme, whereby shares in a subsidiary company have been purchased in the proportions set out in the table below.

The potential benefits of the Scheme are unchanged and remain dependent upon the attainment of a minimum share price of GBP1.20 at the vesting date. The directors will become entitled to cash or shares in Pittards plc based on the excess value generated at the vesting date in March 2022 with a further six month period allowed for exercise. The total excess value calculated in accordance with the Scheme rules will be split amongst the directors on the basis of the percentages set out below. These percentages are unchanged, save that Richard Briere, who was appointed Chief Financial Officer earlier in the year, has now been allocated the proportion previously allocated to his predecessor.
