Appointment of Zinc Television Managing Director and Grant of Options

Zinc Media Group plc (AIM: ZIN), a leading TV and multimedia content

has granted options over 202,511 ordinary shares of 0.125 pence each

Tanya will be responsible for the company's TV labels based in London and
Manchester as well as accelerating the Group's growth in premium unscripted

Tanya was Managing Director of Shine TV for six years, a role in which she
oversaw a variety of hugely successful returning factual series, including the
global hit MasterChef, Hunted and The Island with Bear Grylls. She was
formerly Commissioning Editor of Features and Formats at the BBC and

Mark Browning, Zinc CEO, commented:

 

"Tanya is one of the most outstanding creative and commercial heads in the UK,
widely recognised as an inspirational and engaging leader. She has built an
outstanding network of contacts, both domestically and internationally, and
has a rich track record of programme making.

 

Our London and Regional teams have had a huge amount of success recently, with
commissions across the full range of factual, but there is so much more we can
achieve. Tanya's creative leadership and her passion for creating impactful,
innovative content, makes her the ideal person to lead our creative teams".

 

Tanya Shaw added:

 

"Zinc's creative richness and premium quality is renowned worldwide. Their
companies make outstanding programming which resonates around the world, and
I'm looking forward to helping drive their growth plans, diversifying their
customer base, and strengthening their already-world-class creative team.

 

It is clear that Zinc is a company that is now going places and I'm thrilled
to be joining at such an exciting moment in their growth journey."

 

The Options have been granted under the Company's EMI Share Option Plan and
will vest in accordance with the following:

·      half of the Options granted will vest if the market price per
Ordinary Share is at least 105.9p for a period of 30 consecutive trading days
ending on or after 7 November 2024; and

·      the remaining half of the Options will vest unconditionally on
the third anniversary of the grant date, being 7 November 2024.

 

The Options are exercisable at a price of 70.6p per share, which represents
the average 5 day trailing market price at time of grant.
