LSL Property Services plc ('LSL' or the 'Company')

Shareholder Circular and Notice of General Meeting

Proposed Updated Remuneration Policy

Following the publication of LSL's Annual Report and Accounts 2024, the Board
has been reviewing both the Remuneration Policy for Executive Directors and
the broader remuneration approach to ensure it is effective. As disclosed in
the Annual Report, the Company has been in consultation with shareholders in
respect of potential amendments to the policy and approach, with the purpose
of ensuring that the Group retains appropriate remuneration structures to
reward good performance and deliver value to shareholders.

 

LSL has today published a circular containing a notice convening a General
Meeting seeking shareholder approval of amendments to the Directors'
Remuneration Policy (the Updated Remuneration Policy) and introduction of the
LSL Property Services plc 2025 Long Term Incentive Plan (the 2025 LTIP) (the
Circular).

 

Key features of the proposed 2025 LTIP

 

  Awards are proposed to be granted to executive directors and other
senior employees of the Company, with participants able to share in the growth
in the value of the Company created over a five-year performance period. The
total pool available will be based on up to 10% of the growth in the Company's
equity value.

 

  The growth in equity value will be measured against a starting share
price of £2.78, being the average share price over the month of January 2025,
and there will be two vesting dates: 31 December 2027 (year 3); and 31
December 2029 (year 5). At each vesting date, no value in the scheme will be
created if the growth in value is less than 10% CAGR and will be capped at 10%
of growth in equity value on achieving 15% CAGR or more.

 

  Any shares received by a participant under the 2025 LTIP cannot be sold
until 31 December 2029 (subject to payments for taxes).

 

   Share awards may be satisfied by the transfer of shares which are
purchased in the market or from the Company's employee benefit trust. No new
shares may be issued to satisfy the vesting of awards.

 

  The Remuneration Committee may make appropriate adjustments to take
account of any distributions to shareholders (other than dividends made in the
ordinary course of business) or other capital changes that have an impact on
share price and/ or the value of 2025 LTIP awards. The Remuneration Committee
has discretion to adjust the awards at each measurement date to reflect any
significant concerns in respect of underlying business performance, risk,
compliance, customer or regulatory matters. Malus and clawback provisions
apply until three years from the end of the 2025 LTIP.

 

A more detailed summary of the key terms of the proposed 2025 LTIP is set out
in the Circular.

 

Adrian Collins, Non-Executive Chair, commented:

 

"Through the lens of a true alignment with shareholders, I want to ensure that
the focus of LSL's executive management team is on driving sustainable,
profitable value growth and real, share price related returns from which all
shareholders may benefit. The scheme we are proposing is designed to achieve
exactly that. Having engaged in an extensive consultation exercise with our
major shareholders both in the UK and the US, we believe that the scheme has
wide-ranging support, with shareholders acknowledging that it is designed to
drive management to increase shareholder value substantially over the medium
and long term. Accordingly, we recommend shareholders vote in favour of the
Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting, as all the Directors intend
to do in respect of their own shareholdings."

 

The Notice contains further details on the background to, and the reasons for,
the proposals within the Notice. The Notice convenes a General Meeting of the
Company to be held at the Oak Suite, Royal Lancaster London, Lancaster
Terrace, London, W2 2TY at 3.15 p.m. or at the close of the Company's Annual
General Meeting, whichever is later, on Wednesday 28 May 2025. A summary of
the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting is set out below.

Policy. Resolution 2 concerns the approval of the 2025 LTIP. The resolutions
