Performance Share Plan Awards
Ten Entertainment Group plc (the "Company") announces that on Tuesday 1 December 2020 its Executive Directors were granted the following share awards as nominal-cost options over ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the Company ("Shares") under the Company's Performance Share Plan ("PSP"). The awards were granted on 30 November 2020 (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 13 May 2020.
Director | Position | Number of Share Awards Granted |
Graham Blackwell | Chief Executive Officer | 233,083 |
Antony Smith | Chief Financial Officer | 195,489 |
These awards (the "PSP Awards") are subject to three performance conditions which will be measured on the Vesting Date which will be the third anniversary of the Date of Grant.
The first performance condition applying to the PSP Awards will be based on 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:
Results for the year to 1 January 2023 ("FY2022") | Percentage of the total number of Share Awards granted that will vest |
Less than 17.00 pence | 0% |
17.00 pence | 12.5% |
Between 17.00 and 23.00 pence | Pro-rata on straight-line basis between 12.5% and 50% |
More than 23.00 pence | 50% |
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.
The second performance condition will be based on Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") of the Company and a comparator group of companies and 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:
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% |
The third performance condition will be based on a share price underpin whereby no Award or part of an Award may vest unless the average Share Price of the Company calculated over a three month period ending on the Vesting Date exceeds the Share price on the Date of Grant.
Set out below are the notifications, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, in relation to the PSP
