Lyttle, formerly chief operating officer at Primark, has subscribed for 195 Class A ordinary shares of 1 pence each in a Boohoo holding company as part of a growth share plan announced in September.

He has also been granted a further share option award of 357,446 ordinary shares of 1 pence each in Boohoo Group plc, valued at £637,326. But this award will only vest if he remains as CEO up to 15 March 2020.

The awards join a series of incentives announced by Boohoo when it announced Lyttle’s appointment in September last year. 

The new chief executive stands in line to receive a bonus of up to £50 million before tax if shares in the company grow by 180% over the next five years, increasing Boohoo’s market value from £2.037 billion to £5.6 billion.

The value of the award will be determined by compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in market capitalisation, but Boohoo must report a CAGR of at least 23% at the end of the period for Lyttle to receive it.

This would be on top of Lyttle’s annual salary of £615,000 and annual bonus.
