Secure Trust Bank PLC (the "Company" or the "Group")

Grant of awards under the Company's 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") and the Company's 2017 Deferred Bonus Plan ("DBP")

On 21 April 2026 the Company granted nil-cost options over ordinary shares of 40p each ("Ordinary Shares") under the LTIP to the following PDMRs:

PDMR
Number of Ordinary Shares over which options granted
Ian Corfield
52,192
Rachel Lawrence
38,015
Andrew Phillips
21,929
Luke Jooste
13,421
James Appleby
7,309

 

Each option has been granted subject to performance conditions which will be set by the Remuneration Committee in line with the disclosure provided in the Directors Remuneration Report, within the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025, which is available on the Company's website (www.securetrustbank.com/investors). The performance conditions will also include an underpin measure which includes an assessment of general financial performance, shareholder experience, risk management performance and progress against the Group's strategy. The performance period in each case is a period of three years starting on 1 January 2026 and ending 31 December 2028.

Each option will, ordinarily, vest on the date on which the Company's Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors, determines the extent to which the performance conditions have been satisfied or three years from the date of grant.  Each option will be released so that the participant is entitled to exercise the vested Ordinary Shares on the vesting date, except in the case of Ian Corfield and Rachel Lawrence when the date of release will be at the end of a holding period which will end on the second anniversary of the vesting date. 

The number of shares under each option was set by reference to a value per Ordinary Share of £13.68, which was the 3-day average mid-market price determined between 17 April 2026 to 20 April 2026.

On 21 April 2026 the Company also granted the following awards over Ordinary Shares under the DBP in respect of bonuses earned for the period ended 31 December 2025. 

PDMR
Number of Ordinary Shares subject to DBP award

·    on 21 April 2027 as regards one third of the shares subject to it;

·    on 21 April 2028 as regards one third of the shares subject to it; and

·    on 21 April 2029 as regards one third of the shares subject to it.
