On 13 August 2018, the Company's new Group Chief Financial
Officer, Jonny Mason, was granted pursuant to The Dixons Carphone
plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2016 (LTIP) awards as nil cost options
over ordinary shares of 0.1 pence in the Company ('Shares'), as
follows:

to calculate
award value

------------ -------------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ---------
13 August
Recruitment 470,000 100% 470,000 267,121 2021 Nil
------------ -------------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ---------
The share price used to calculate the numbers of shares was the
mid-market price on the dealing day prior to grant (10 August
2018).
The numbers of Shares awarded are the maximum numbers that could
vest upon full satisfaction of the applicable performance
condition(s).
The Awards will ordinarily vest on 13 August 2021 ('Vesting
Date'), subject to Mr Mason's continued service with the Company
and the extent to which the applicable performance condition(s) are
achieved. Vested Shares will be subject to a two-year holding
period (on a net of tax basis) from the Vesting Date.
The performance conditions applicable to the Awards are as
follows (they are described in more detail in the Annual Report and
Accounts):
1) Relative Total Shareholder Return ('TSR') performance
condition - 50% of the Normal Award and 100% of the Recruitment
Award
This ranks the Company's TSR against the TSRs of a comparator
group of the companies ranked FTSE 51-150 at the start of the
performance period (three financial years commencing with the
financial year of grant). TSRs are averaged over one month periods
before the beginning and end of the performance period. 25% of this
portion of the Award will vest for achievement of median TSR
ranking, with maximum vesting at upper quartile ranking or above.
Straight-line vesting will apply between these two points.
2) Cumulative Free Cash Flow performance condition - 50% of the Normal Award
This measures the Company's cumulative free cash flow over the
same three-year performance period. 10% of this portion of the
Award will vest if cumulative free cash flow is GBP517m, rising to
25% if it is GBP574m, and with maximum vesting if it is GBP689m or
higher. Straight-line vesting applies between these points.
Buyout Award under Listing Rule 9.4.2(2)
On 13 August 2018, Mr Mason was separately granted a nil cost
option ('Buyout Award'), pursuant to the terms of a one-off award
agreement as follows:
Award Reference Number of Ordinary Exercise Price

Buyout Award
143,286 81,435 Nil
------------------- ---------------
The share price used to calculate the number of shares was the
mid-market price on the day prior to grant (10 August 2018).
The Buyout Award will ordinarily vest on 13 August 2021
('Vesting Date'), subject to Mr Mason's continued service with the
Company and provided that neither party has served notice to
terminate Mr Mason's employment. The Buyout Award will then become
exercisable in three tranches as follows:
Exercise Period commencing Number of Ordinary Shares
on
13 August 2021 27,145
--------------------------
13 August 2022 27,145

13 August 2023 27,145

It will normally remain exercisable until the 10(th) anniversary
of its grant date. No performance condition applies.
The Buyout Award was entered into without prior shareholder
approval relying on Listing Rule 9.4.2(2) and will be limited to
settlement with market purchase Ordinary Shares.
As at the date of this announcement, the Company has
1,160,210,224 Ordinary Shares in issue.
This announcement is made in accordance with the requirements of
