40% of the LTIP Award is subject to performance conditions ("Performance Award"). The remaining 60% of the LTIP Award is not subject to performance conditions and will vest on the relevant vesting date(s) provided the PDMR remains in employment with the Company ("Restricted Stock Award").
100% of the Performance Award will vest subject to Total Relative Shareholder Return ("TSR") performance of the Company over the next three-year period starting with the 2027 financial year of the Company. The threshold TSR is median within the Benchmarked European Airlines TSR for which 25% of the award vests with straight line vesting in between median and the upper quartile.
All vested Options must be exercised within ten years of the date of grant. If exercised, then the underlying shares in the Company will be issued or transferred at nil cost to the Option holders. No amounts have been paid by the relevant PDMRs for the grant of these Options.
