The LTIP Awards are granted at a price of 10 pence per Ordinary Share and vest in accordance with performance targets linked to share price performance above 165 pence per Ordinary Share and earnings per share growth over the period to 30 November 2020.

 

In addition, the Company has granted Awards under the PROACTIS Group Executive Bonus Plan 2017 over a maximum of 259,469 Ordinary Shares as follows (the "Executive Bonus Plan Awards"):

 

- 123,106 Awards were granted to Hamp Wall;

Further details on the LTIP Awards and the Executive Bonus Plan Awards are set out in Paragraph 6 of Part VII of the Admission Document.

 

Furthermore, the Company has granted 451,842 Options to Tim Sykes. These Options are granted at a price of 43 pence per Ordinary Share and replace those granted to Tim Sykes on 2 June 2006 and which subsequently lapsed whilst the Company was in a close period such that Mr Sykes was unable to exercise these Options. The performance targets for the lapsed Options had all been met prior to their lapsing and, therefore, these replacement Options vest immediately and unconditionally.

Further detail is set out in the PDMR disclosure tables below.
