Staffline Group plc
("Staffline", the "Company" or the "Group")
Grant of Options under 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Staffline, the recruitment and training group, announces that, under the terms
of the Company's 2022 long term incentive plan (the "2022 LTIP"), the Board
has approved the award of and granted nil cost options (the "Options") over
2,899,725 ordinary shares of ten pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares")
to certain employees, including persons discharging managerial
responsibilities ("PDMRs"), as set out below.
The vesting of the Options is subject to the satisfaction of the Company
achieving certain financial performance criteria for the financial year ending
31 December 2024. 50% of the Options awarded are subject to achieving earnings
per share hurdles and 50% are subject to achieving underlying operating profit
hurdles. In addition, no Options will vest unless the average closing price
of the Ordinary Shares for the last 30 business days of 2024 is above a
minimum target. The Options will vest from 13 May 2025 (the "Vesting
Period") and will be exercisable until 13 May 2032.
The Board believes it is key that the Group incentivises Executive Directors
and Senior Managers to drive the business forward, whilst aligning their
interests with those of shareholders. The Options awarded to PDMRs are set out
in the table below.
