Grants under Long Term Incentive Plan
 
ITM Power plc (the "Company") announces that on 22 October 2020 awards over ordinary shares of £0.05 each in the capital of the Company were granted to all staff under the ITM Power plc Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), over a total number of 1,006,590 ordinary shares.
Additional awards over a total number of 268,582 ordinary shares will be made to the Executive Directors and certain employees, conditional upon completion of the Fundraising announced on 22 October 2020.
No consideration is payable for the grant of the awards which are structured as nominal cost options at an option exercise price of £0.05 per ordinary share. The number of ordinary shares granted under the award has been calculated using a share price of 270.5 pence, being the average mid-market quotation as derived from AIM for the last 5 days of trading prior to close on 21 October 2020.
 
The vesting of an award is subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions which have been set by the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The awards are subject to a three year vesting period and to the achievement of the performance conditions and the participant being a director or employee within the Company's group at that time.
 
This follows confirmation that the Company has implemented the LTIP, recently adopted by the Company in 2020 as is set out in the announcement of the Company's final results released on 22 October 2020.
 
The LTIP awards granted to Executive Directors (who are Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities) are as follows:

A further announcement will be made once the decision to grant the exceptional awards becomes unconditional after completion of the Fundraising post the general meeting to be held on 11 November 2020.
 
The performance conditions applying to these awards, being the first under the Company's recently adopted LTIP, (both annual and exceptional) compare the performance of the Company's shareholder return with that of the performance of the AIM 50 Index over the applicable performance period.
 
The notification is intended to satisfy the Company's obligations under Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulations.
