The Board recognises the importance of incentivising and rewarding the performance of its key executives, and having considered the views of certain of its shareholders, recently tasked the remuneration committee to recommend to the Board an appropriate long term incentive plan ("LTIP") for its senior executives.
The Board, following the recommendation of the remuneration committee and after consulting its advisers, has today made the following award (the "Award") to Gavin Jones (Chief Executive Officer) under the Company's newly established LTIP that was adopted on 9 September 2025:
| Individual | Position | Type of Award | Number of ordinary shares subject to LTIP award |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gavin Jones | Chief Executive Officer | LTIP award - nominal cost option | 500,000 |
The Award has a performance period from the grant date to the third anniversary of the grant date and are subject to the following performance criteria.
The Award shall vest on a sliding scale depending on the total percentage growth of Adjusted EBITDA per share over the Performance Period, as follows:
- Growth of 25% or higher: 100% of the Award vests.
- Between 10% and 25% growth: Vesting shall occur on a straight-line basis between 25% and 100%.
- 10% growth: 25% of the Award vests; or
- Below 10% growth: 0% of the Award vests.
Comment from the Chair of the Remuneration committee, Jenny Winter:
"It is important that Gavin is rewarded in a way which links his performance with shareholder value creation. I am satisfied that these incentivisation arrangements achieve that objective."
