Director / PDMR Shareholding
Grant of units under the Dialight plc (Dialight) 2024 Value Creation Plan (VCP)
At Dialight's 2024 AGM a resolution was passed approving the creation of the VCP. A copy of the VCP rules (VCP Rules) is available at www.dialight.com/ir/shareholder-information/general-meetings/.
On 19 March 2025, Neil Johnson (Chair) and Steve Blair (CEO) were each granted 335 units in the VCP (Units) at a share hurdle price of 350p/share (the Hurdle Price) in accordance with the VCP Rules. 167 Units awarded to each recipient will have a performance testing period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2027 and 168 Units awarded to each recipient will have a performance testing period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2028.
Performance against the Hurdle Price (as may be adjusted under the VCP Rules) will be tested at the end of each of the performance periods and share options granted to the recipient in proportion to the extent to which the Hurdle Price has been exceeded. Any share options granted (or shares issued on exercise of such options) will ordinarily be required to be held for a further 2 years (subject to the VCP Rules) and are subject to malus and clawback provisions.
A nominal £1 will be paid by each of the recipients in consideration of the grant of the Units.
As previously announced, Neil Johnson currently holds 97,393 shares in Dialight and Steve Blair currently holds 88,483 shares in Dialight. Both Recipients have met the shareholding requirement (i.e. the holding of not less than £150,000 worth of Dialight shares, calculated as at the relevant purchase dates) to qualify as participants in the VCP.
