Grant of Conditional Share Awards and PDMR Notification
Atalaya Mining (LSE: ATYM) announces that the following conditional share awards have been granted pursuant to the Atalaya Mining Long-Term Incentive Plan 2020 (the "2020 LTIP").
Pursuant to these awards, participants who are Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs") may receive an allocation of shares following the normal vesting date, subject to the extent to which the applicable performance conditions have been satisfied at the end of the three-year performance period and their continuing employment at that time.
As indicated in the Company's 2025 Annual Report, the Company confirms that the vesting of the conditional share awards to the Chief Executive Officer will depend on the achievement of certain performance conditions, full details of which can be found in the 2025 Directors' Remuneration Report.

Pursuant to these awards, participants will receive an allocation of shares on grant equal to one third of the maximum number of shares comprised in the award immediately following the Company's 2026 Annual General Shareholders' Meeting. Participants may receive two further allocations of shares (up to one third each on the first and second anniversaries of grant) subject to the achievement of an underpin condition on each anniversary related to performance of the Company and performance of the individual employee.
