As outlined in the announcement dated 16 October 2019, Andy O'Brien forfeited share awards on leaving his last employer. In accordance with the Volution Remuneration Policy, the Remuneration Committee approved the grant of additional awards to Andy O'Brien to partially compensate him for remuneration forgone at his previous employer. These LTIP awards were granted to replicate as far as possible, the likely value and time horizons associated with the share awards forfeited at his previous employer. The LTIP awards were due to vest as follows: 50% on the first anniversary of appointment (1 August 2020) and 50% on the second anniversary of appointment (1 August 2021), subject to continued employment with Volution and were not subject to any performance conditions, reflecting the criteria of the forfeited share awards.

 

The Volution Employee Benefit Trust has transferred shares to the Chief Financial Officer representing the number of shares retained following the sale of shares to satisfy income tax, national insurance and dealing costs. 

 

Following the exercise, sale and retention of shares under the LTIP, the shareholding of the Chief Financial Officer is as follows:
