Booker Group plc ('Booker')

Grant of options under the Booker Group plc 2008 Performance Share Plan ('PSP')

On 25 November 2015 the Company granted options over Booker shares under the PSP (which includes a tax approved CSOP) to the following PDMRs:

The options will vest and become exercisable three years from the grant date subject to continued employment and satisfaction of the performance conditions set out below and will lapse if not exercised within ten years of the grant date.

50% of each option is linked to an Absolute TSR performance target with 25% of this element vesting for achieving growth of 8% per annum, rising on a straight line basis with full vesting requiring 15% growth per annum, when measured over the 3 years from the grant date.

The remaining 50% of each option is linked to an Absolute EPS performance target with 25% of this element vesting for achieving growth of 6% per annum, rising on a straight line basis with full vesting requiring 12% growth per annum, as measured at March 2015 and March 2018.

*The PSP and CSOP options are linked such that, at the time of exercise, to the extent that there is a gain in the CSOP option, linked PSP options with the same value will be forfeited.
