Long Term Incentive Plan Awards
On 15 March 2021, the following Executive Directors of the Company and other Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility (the "Executives") were granted awards over ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the Company ("Awards") under the Ultra Electronics Long Term Incentive Plan 2017 ("LTIP") as follows:
Director/PDMR |
Number of Awards
|
Simon Pryce | 68,160 |
Jos Sclater | 31,875 |
Michael Baptist | 11,720 |
Thomas Link | 13,184 |
Richard Cashin | 7,683 |
Louise Ruppel | 10,326 |
Steve Izquierdo | 9,000 |
Andrew Puryear | 8,515 |
The Awards were granted using the average middle-market quotation over three days prior to date of grant (as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List), being £20.50.
The Awards are in the form of nil price options (other than that granted to Thomas Link and Andrew Puryear which are in the form of conditional awards under which shares are automatically delivered on vesting). Additional shares may be delivered equivalent to the value of dividends received from grant to vesting, and during the holding period mentioned below.
The Awards will normally vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment and the satisfaction of performance conditions (each applicable to a quarter of the award) based upon relative total shareholder return against constituents of the FTSE 250 index (excluding investment trusts), return on invested capital (ROIC), annual growth in organic operating profit (OOP), and annual growth in organic operating revenue (OOR). Vested options are normally exercisable until the day before the 10th anniversary of their grant. The Awards are also subject to the malus and clawback provisions of the LTIP.
For Simon Pryce and Jos Sclater, the shares acquired upon vesting that are not sold to fund tax liabilities are subject to a further two-year holding period.
No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards and no payment is due on their vesting or exercise.
