Cenkos Securities plc announces the implementation of a new Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") for certain senior employees, including Julian Morse an executive director of the Company.
Under the LTIP a number of senior employees of the Company have been granted an aggregate of 5,070,000 nil cost options over Ordinary Shares in the Company ("Awards"). The purpose of the Awards is to ensure appropriate ongoing incentivisation of the new executive management team. Julian Morse an executive director of the Company has been granted 1,460,000 Awards.
Each Award is separated into three equal tranches that will (subject to the achievement of the applicable performance conditions detailed below) vest on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of grant respectively. For Julian Morse, an executive director of the Company, the Awards are subject to a further two year holding period during which any Ordinary Shares held as a result of exercise of any Award cannot be sold. The Awards are subject to malus and clawback provisions.
The vesting of the Awards is conditional on meeting a total shareholder return ("TSR") growth measurement over a three, four and five year period as detailed below:
| Tranche | Measurement Period | Performance Condition
| Number of Awards that vest if the Performance Condition is satisfied |
| Tranche 1 | 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2023 | Tranche 1 TSR Growth is equal to or greater than 50% | Fixed number at grant equal to 33.3% of total and rounded down to the nearest whole Award
|
| Tranche 2 | 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2024 | Tranche 2 TSR Growth is equal to or greater than 75% | Fixed number at grant equal to 33.3% of total and rounded down to the nearest whole Award
|
| Tranche 3 | 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2025 | Tranche 3 TSR Growth is equal to or greater than 100%
| Balance of total Awards |
The grant of the Awards to Julian Morse, as an executive director of the Company, constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13. The independent directors consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.
