Granting of LTIP awards

On 4 March 2026, Paragon Banking Group PLC (the "Company") granted awards over the Company's Ordinary Shares of £1.00 each to the following directors under the Paragon Performance Share Plan 2023 ("PPSP").

 

Director
Role
Number of shares awarded under PPSP
N S Terrington
Chief Executive Officer
206,478
R J Woodman
Chief Financial Officer
130,465

 

No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards, which have been structured as nil-cost options.

 

The number of shares subject to each PPSP award is based on a share price of £7.996 which was the average closing mid-market price of the Company's shares on each of the five dealing days following the announcement of the Company's results for the year ended 30 September 2025.  The PPSP awards will vest subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions, which will be measured over the period of three financial years ending on 30 September 2028.  The awards, to the extent they vest, will become exercisable in tranches as follows: -

 

Proportion of vested Shares
Normal Vesting date
Holding Period
75%
Third anniversary of date of grant
Two years from the Vesting date
25%
Fourth anniversary of date of grant
One year from the Vesting date

 

The PPSP awards will, ordinarily, remain exercisable until the day before the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. Shares subject to the post-vesting holding period will operate with all associated shareholder rights, with the exception of the right to transfer or sell shares, which will only be permissible at the end of holding period, after which the shares can then be transferred or sold.

Transfer of shares

Following approval of the Company's Remuneration Policy, at its Annual General Meeting held on 4 March 2026, the shares acquired by the directors under the Company's previous Salary in Shares arrangement (and prior to that its Role Based Allowance arrangement) became fully transferable. The directors have arranged for all shares acquired under these arrangements to be transferred as follows: -

Total number of shares transferred

N S Terrington

Mrs J Terrington
R J Woodman
