Grant of Awards under Long Term Incentive Plan
D4t4 Solutions Plc (AIM: D4T4, "the Group", "D4t4"), the AIM-listed data solutions provider, announces that earlier today Bill Bruno, CEO and Ash Mehta, CFO were granted options over ordinary shares of two pence each in the Company ("Shares"). Awards were made in two tranches as set out below under the terms of the D4t4 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"). These awards have been made following the recent appointment of the two directors to their respective roles:
Director/ PDMR | Position | Tranche A (Shares) | Tranche B (Shares) |
Bill Bruno | Chief Executive Officer | 66,185 | 49,638 |
Ash Mehta | Chief Financial Officer | 34,974 | 23,316 |
The awards are all exercisable at a price of two pence per Share and will vest three years after grant, subject to the continued employment of the relevant director.
Vesting of awards in Tranche A is also subject to the satisfaction over the three-year period from the date of grant of specified performance conditions, based on the Company's relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) in respect of half of the award, and growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in respect of the other half. Vesting criteria have been set as follows:
· 15% compound growth in ARR to achieve minimum award vesting, with a sliding scale above this level, up to full vesting at 27.5% compound growth; and
· TSR of no less than median performance against the selected benchmark for minimum vesting, with a sliding scale above this level, up to full vesting for top-quartile performance.
Tranche B represents a one-off award, without Company performance conditions.
