The options are subject to performance conditions as detailed below having been met during the three year performance period commencing on 1 January 2024 and ending on 31 December 2026 and will vest on 12 April 2027.

 

For Executive Directors, the vesting of 50% of such awards (the "Relative TSR Part") is subject to the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") performance over a three year period that commenced on 1 January 2024 relative to the TSR performance over the same period of the constituents of the FTSE 250 Index (excluding investment trusts) as at 1 January 2024. 25% of the Relative TSR Part will vest for median ranking performance, rising on a straight-line basis to full vesting of the Relative TSR Part for upper quartile ranking (or better) relative TSR performance.

 

For Executive Directors, the vesting of 50% of such awards (the "EPS Part") is subject to growth in the Company's adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") performance over a three year period that commenced on 1 January 2024. 25% of the EPS Part will vest for compound annual growth at 4.0% rising on a straight-line basis to full vesting of the EPS Part for compound annual growth at 14.0%.

 

For options awarded to other PDMRs, vesting is subject to one third based on the Relative TSR performance condition as set out above, one third based on the EPS performance condition as set out above, and one third which does not have any associated performance conditions.


The options for the Executive Directors are subject to a further two year holding period post vesting before they may be exercised. 


The Company also granted 20,672 nil cost share options over ordinary shares of 0.25 pence each in the Company to Colin Lees, who joined the Company as Chief Technology Officer on 9 January 2024, pursuant to the Gamma Long Term Incentive Plan approved on 17 May 2023. These options are subject to certain performance conditions having been met during the three year performance period ending on 31 December 2025 and will vest on 22 May 2026.
