RNS Number : 5075W Auction Technology Group PLC 12 December 2023
12 December 2023
Auction Technology Group plc (the "Company")
Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility
("PDMRs")
The Company announces that on 8 December 2023 the following awards over
ordinary shares in the capital of the Company were granted to the following
PDMRs pursuant to the Company's share incentive plans (together the "Awards").
PDMR Share Plan Award Number of Shares
John-Paul Savant Long Term Incentive Plan Nil-Cost Option 161,667
Tom Hargreaves Long Term Incentive Plan Nil-Cost Option 138,333
Jeremy Stewart Long Term Incentive Plan Nil-Cost Option 54,826
Richard Lewis Long Term Incentive Plan Nil-Cost Option 33,100
The Awards to the Executive Directors (John-Paul Savant and Tom Hargreaves)
are based on an award multiple of 200% of basic salary, as agreed by the
Remuneration Committee (the "Committee"). The Awards will vest subject to the
achievement of performance conditions over the three-year period ending 30
September 2026 and will be subject to the usual two-year post-vesting holding
period. Full details of the Awards, including the performance targets, are
disclosed in the Directors' Remuneration Report ("DRR") in the FY2023 Annual
Report to be published on 14 December 2023.
Since approval of the DRR, the Committee has decided that, in recognition of
the current share price level, the Awards should be granted by reference to a
share price of £6.00, this being equivalent to the original offer price at
the time of Admission in February 2021. The number of shares comprising each
Award is therefore significantly lower than would have resulted from the
normal approach of using the 5-day average share price following the
announcement of the Company's preliminary results for the financial year ended
30 September 2023 (£4.958).
