Zotefoams plc
NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF DIRECTORS/PDMRs
27 May 2026 - Zotefoams plc (LSE: ZTF) announces that on 27 May 2026, the
Executive Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMR)
were granted the following share awards over the Company's Ordinary Shares of
5p each under the Zotefoams Long Term Incentive Plan 2017 ('LTIP').
Share awards
Director Ordinary LTIP Award Maximum additional shares (multiplier) Maximum total shares
Ronan Cox 171,159 171,159 342,318
Nick Wright 115,800 92,640 208,440
Awards under the LTIP were also granted to certain senior management over
236,006 number of shares.
Each award comprises:
· an "ordinary LTIP award"; and
· a "multiplier" element, which provides for additional shares to vest subject
to the achievement of higher levels of performance.
The awards are subject to performance conditions measured over a three-year
performance period from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2028. Performance will
be assessed against a combination of financial and market-based metrics,
together with an ESG measure. In summary, the vesting of the ordinary LTIP
awards is subject to:
· earnings per share growth;
· return on average capital employed;
· relative total shareholder return against the FTSE Small Cap Index (excluding
investment trusts); and
· an ESG performance condition linked to revenues derived from products
containing recycled polymer content.
The multiplier element is conditional on both the level of vesting of the
ordinary LTIP award and the Company's absolute total shareholder return over
the performance period.
Following the end of the performance period, the Remuneration Committee will
determine the extent to which the performance conditions have been satisfied.
Awards will normally vest shortly thereafter, subject to continued employment
and the rules of the LTIP. The awards are subject to a further two-year
holding period following vesting. Further details of the LTIP are set out in
the Company's Directors' Remuneration Report & Policy.
The number of shares subject to the awards has been calculated using a share
price of £4.022 per share, being the 3-day average share price leading up to
the date of grant.
The Notification of Dealing Form for each Director/PDMR can be found below.
This announcement is made in accordance with the requirements of Article 19 of
the UK Market Abuse Regulation.
