("Cavendish", the "Company", the "Group")

 

Directors Dealings

 

Cavendish Financial plc (AIM:CAV) operates a Deferred Bonus Scheme (the "DBS") and a Short Term Incentive Scheme (the "STIP") (together, the "Schemes") which are legacy schemes established by Cenkos Securities plc but under which outstanding awards at completion of the merger between finnCap Group plc and Cenkos Securities plc (on 7 September 2023) were rolled-over into awards over Cavendish shares.

 

On 18 April, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Schemes, one third of the DBS awards granted to certain employees, including Executive Directors, in 2021, 2022 and 2023, and one-third of the STIP awards granted to certain employees, including Executive Directors, in July 2023, vested. The vested awards were satisfied by the transfer of shares allocated for that purpose under the Cenkos Securities Employee Benefit Trust (EBT).

 

Upon vesting of these awards, and after off-market sales to the EBT to satisfy the income tax and NIC liability arising on the vesting, Julian Morse (Co-CEO) and Ben Procter (CFO) received and retained 661,617 and 233,659 shares respectively as shown in the table below:
