Polar Capital Holdings plc ("Polar Capital" or the
"Company")
Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial
Responsibilities (PDMRs)/Persons Closely Associated (PCAs)
The Company was notified on 26 May 2021 that Mr Nicholas Farren,
a person discharging managerial responsibilities, exercised two
share option awards under the Company's 2007 Equity Incentive Plan
(the "Plan") as follows:
-- 75,000 share options from share options granted in June 2012 at 191.0p per share
-- 50,000 share options from share options granted in July 2013 at 386.6p per share
The option was issued in accordance with the rules of the Plan
and use of the provisions relating to Equity Settled Share
Appreciation Rights ('ESARS'). The use of the ESARS provisions
allows the Company to issue to the option holder only the number of
shares that would equate to the number of shares over which the
option becomes exercisable less the number of shares that would
have needed to be sold to fund the purchase of that number of
shares on the exercise date.
The Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) transferred 82,930 ordinary
shares of 2.5p each ("Ordinary Shares") in full satisfaction of the
option exercise to Mr Farren and all the shares were then sold at
the market price of 800p per Ordinary Share.
