Helios, the only publicly traded company offering instant access to a diverse portfolio of syndicates at Lloyd's of London, announces that on 9 June 2025 the following awards over ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company were granted under the Helios Underwriting plc Long Term Incentive Plan to the following person(s) discharging managerial responsibilities:

The awards were granted as nil cost options and will ordinarily vest on the third anniversary of grant, subject to the grantee's continued service and the extent to which the award's performance conditions are satisfied.

As summarised in the table immediately below; the award's performance conditions set threshold to stretch targets in respect of Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") over the three year period following the grant of the award. No portion of the awards shall performance vest unless the Company's TSR over the performance period reaches the threshold target, for which 25% of the award would performance vest, rising on a straight line basis to full performance vesting of the award for the Company's TSR over the performance period being equal to the stretch target or better.
