Performance Share Plan Awards
Â
Ten Entertainment Group plc (the "Company") announces that on Wednesday 22 March 2023 its Executive Directors were granted the following share awards as nominal-cost options over ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Shares") under the Company's Performance Share Plan ("PSP").
Â
The awards were granted on 22 March 2023 ("Date of Grant") in accordance with the remuneration policy approved by shareholders and set out in the Company's Annual Report which was published on 29 March 2022.
Â
Director | Position | Number of Share Awards Granted |
Graham Blackwell | Chief Executive Officer | 164,368 |
Antony Smith | Chief Financial Officer | 138,053 |
Â
These awards (the "PSP Awards") are subject to two performance conditions which will be measured on the vesting date which will be the third anniversary of the Date of Grant.
Â
The first performance condition applying to the PSP Awards will be based on Adjusted Earnings per Share of the Company ("EPS") and will apply to 50 per cent. of the total number of Share Awards granted. EPS will be calculated in accordance with the following table:
Â
Results for the year to 31 December 2025 ("FY2025") | Percentage of the total number of Share Awards granted that will vest |
Less than 36.0 pence | 0% |
36.0 pence | 12.5% |
Between 36.0 and 42.0 pence | Pro-rata on straight-line basis between 12.5% and 50% |
More than 42.0 pence | 50% |
Â
The EPS measure is based on adjusted fully diluted EPS as stated in the Company's accounts and is subject to such adjustments as the Remuneration Committee in its discretion determines are fair and reasonable.
Â
The second performance condition will be based on Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") of the Company and a comparator group of companies as set out in the Annual Report on Remuneration, in the Company's Annual Report.
Â
TSR will be calculated on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant and will apply to the remaining 50 per cent. of Share Awards granted. TSR will be calculated in accordance with the following table:
Â
TSR performance against Comparator Group Companies | Percentage of Award that vests |
Below Median | 0% |
Median | 12.5% |
Between Median and Median plus 10% p.a. | Between 12.5% and 50% on a straight line basis |
Median plus 10% p.a. and above | 50% |
Â
Set out below are the notifications, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, in relation to the PSP.
