IG Design Group Plc('Design Group' or the 'Company')
Long Term Incentive Plan Awards
The Company announces that on 11 August 2022, it awarded a total of 410,759 conditional awards and 480,536 nil cost options ("Options") over ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to Lance Burn, Interim COO, and Paul Bal, Chief Financial Officer, respectively, under the Company's 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP 2022 - 2025").
The awards are consistent with the terms summarised in the Directors' Remuneration Report on page 69 of the FY2022 Annual Report and Accounts and accordingly are subject to certain performance conditions set by the Company's Remuneration Committee being achieved during a three year period (two thirds based on relative TSR vs FTSE SmallCap (ex IT) constituents; one-third based on EPS growth). An 'underpin' condition also applies to the awards that allows the Remuneration Committee to reduce vesting levels if it determines that vesting outcomes reflect unwarranted 'windfall gains' from share price movements. In addition, Mr Burn and Mr Bal have committed to a two-year holding period. Fuller details regarding these awards will be disclosed in the Company's Directors' Remuneration Report for FY2023.
Details of the awards made to each Director and their resulting interests in the Company are detailed in the table below.
