RNS Number : 2957D Keystone Law Group PLC 20 June 2023
20 June 2023
Keystone Law Group Plc
('Keystone Law', the 'Group' or the 'Company')
Director / PDMR shareholding
Keystone Law Group plc (AIM: KEYS), the network and tech-enabled challenger
law firm, announces that the following awards have been granted over ordinary
shares in the capital of the Company under the Keystone Law Long Term
Incentive Plan 2018 ('LTIP').
Name Number of Shares subject to variation
Ashley Miller (Executive Director, Finance Director) 31,942
William Robins (PDMR) 31,942
The LTIP Awards have been granted as performance share awards and will vest on
the third anniversary of their grant subject to the grantee's continued
employment and to the extent to which the adjusted Earnings Per Share ('EPS')
and Relative Total Shareholder Return ('TSR') performance conditions set out
in the LTIP Award are met.
80% of the LTIP Awards will be assessed on growth in adjusted EPS over the
three-year period, with compound annual growth ('CAGR') of less than 1.9%
delivering none of this element of the LTIP Award, 1.9% CAGR delivering 20% of
this element of the LTIP Award and 100% of this element being granted for
delivery of 4.6% CAGR in adjusted EPS over the three-year period. These
reflect the impact of the increase in UK corporation tax rate, which means
that to achieve 100% of the EPS element, the CAGR of adjusted PBT over the
three year period needs to be c8.5%. The Remuneration Committee retains the
right to make appropriate amendments to these in the event of a material
change to the corporation tax rate during the vesting period.
20% of the LTIP Awards will be assessed on the TSR of the Company over the
three-year period relative to that of those companies included in the FTSE
Fledgling Index throughout the Performance Period; with 100% being awarded for
performance in the top quartile, 50% for performance in the second quartile
and nothing awarded for performance below the median.
In addition, the recipients of the LTIP Awards will be required to retain
shares awarded under the LTIP awards for one year from the vesting date
subject to the ability to sell sufficient shares to discharge any tax
liability.
Set out below are the notifications, made in accordance with the requirements
of the Market Abuse Regulation, in relation to the variation of the LTIP
Awards.
