AB Dynamics plc

Grant of SAYE Options and PDMR dealings

 

AB Dynamics plc (the "Company"), the designer, manufacturer and supplier of
advanced testing, simulation and measurement products to the global transport
market, announces that it has launched its 2026 Save As you Earn Scheme (the
"2026 SAYE Scheme") for all eligible employees offering a savings plan over 3
years.

 

Eligible employees were invited to subscribe for options ("Options") over the
Company's ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") which have been
granted at an exercise price of £8.73 per Ordinary Share, representing
approximately a 20 percent discount to the closing mid-market price of the
Ordinary Shares over the five business days from 16 April 2026 to 22 April
2026, the latter being the business day prior to the opening of the 2026 SAYE
Scheme to applications. The Options have a savings contract start date of 1
July 2026 and are exercisable between 1 July 2029 and 1 January 2030.

 

A total of 65 employees, which equates to approximately 23 percent of eligible
employees, have elected to participate in the 2026 SAYE Scheme.

 

Pursuant to this, a grant of 63,230 options over Ordinary Shares was made on
15 May 2026, equating to 0.3 percent of the current issued share capital of
22,954,463 Ordinary Shares.

 

The following Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMRs") have
chosen to participate in the 2026 SAYE Scheme:
