TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS / PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES - AMENDMENT
The following amendment has been made to the 'Director/PDMR Shareholding' announcement released on 2 July 2021 at 16:38 under RNS No 0713E:
Volume of Ordinary Shares awarded to Snehal Shah (Chief Financial Officer)
All other details remain unchanged.
The full amended text is shown below.
XPS announces that, on 1 July 2021, Ben Bramhall (Co-Chief Executive Officer), Paul Cuff (Co-Chief Executive Officer) and Snehal Shah (Chief Financial Officer), all Directors and persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs"), were granted awards under the Company's Performance Share Plan ("PSP") as set out below.
The value of the awards was calculated by reference to the price of an ordinary share on 30 June 2021, being £1.38. The awards were made in the form of nominal-cost options which will generally become exercisable on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the satisfaction of the following performance targets: (1) 75% of the awards are subject to an Earnings Per Share (EPS) growth target whereby 25% vests for compounded annual growth (CAG) of 3% above CPI and 100% vests for CAG of 7% above CPI (with vesting on a straight-line basis for performance between 3% and 7% CAG and no vesting for performance below 3% CAG); and (2) 25% of the awards are subject to a relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) target whereby 25% vests for median ranking and 100% vests for upper quartile ranking (with vesting on a straight-line basis for performance between median and upper quartile ranking and no vesting for a ranking below median). The TSR Comparator Group consists of the constituents of the FTSE Small Cap Index (excluding investment trusts).
Once vested, the options will be exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, unless the exercise period is shortened in accordance with the PSP rules.
Further details are set out in the below notification, made in accordance with the requirements of the UK Market Abuse Regulation.
