 Press Release   5 September 2019 
 

System1 Group PLC (AIM: SYS1)

("System1", or "the Company")

Grant of Options

Following approval by shareholders at the 2019 annual general meeting to amend certain of the terms of the System1 Group PLC Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"), the Company announces that it has granted awards under the LTIP. Full details of the amendments to the LTIP can be found in the 2019 Notice of AGM.

The share options are nil cost and will vest subject to achieving stretching performance conditions, as follows:

a) Maximum vesting requires gross profit in any financial year ending 31 March prior to 12 August 2024 of at least GBP77.1m, and minimum vesting requires gross profit of at least GBP39.5m; and

   b)   In addition, there are profit after tax and share price underpins 

The awards comprise nil cost options and conditional shares over 1,058,135 shares, of which options over 198,400 shares were granted to each of John Kearon and James Geddes. In the case of James Geddes, the option award replaces options awarded to him in March 2017 under the LTIP (John Kearon did not previously participate in the LTIP).

The maximum potential dilution arising from options awarded under the LTIP remains below the upper limit under the rules of the plan (8.5% of the Company's issued share capital as at 1 January 2017 - 13,226,775 shares).
