The EBT is a discretionary trust that was established on IPO for the benefit of employees (including Partners) and operates in connection with the FRP Equity Incentive Plan ("EIP"). It was initially funded via vendor Partners gifting 18,750,000 Ordinary Shares into the EBT on IPO. The EBT has waived its rights to dividends. The Ordinary Shares held by the EBT will be used, in accordance with the EIP, to satisfy awards made to both existing Partners and employees and to incentivise and attract new colleagues. Following the commencement of options vesting from 6 March 2023, Ordinary Shares will be transferred to employees (including Partners) and dividend rights will accrue.

Following the above transaction, the EBT holds a total of 26,944,041 Ordinary Shares representing 10.82 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
