Awards under Long Term Incentive Plan

OpSec Security Group plc ("OpSec" or "the Company"), the supplier of anti-counterfeiting technologies, services and programmes announces that on 18th August 2011, following the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee of OpSec's board of directors, The OpSec Security Group Employee Trustee Company Limited made initial awards to employees and certain directors under The OpSec Security Group Long Term Incentive Plan of up to 1,608,500 ordinary shares in the Company ("Shares"). The awards are conditional upon growth in the Company's reported adjusted earnings per share (adjusted for the effects of goodwill, exceptional items and the IFRS charge for share based payments) being equal to or greater than the sum of the UK retail price index measure of inflation plus 15 per cent ("the hurdle rate") over the three years ending 31st March 2014. If this increase is less than the hurdle rate then no Shares will vest. If the increase is equal to the hurdle rate then half of the Shares will vest and if the increase is more than the hurdle rate but less than the sum of the UK retail price index measure of inflation plus 30 per cent then the number of Shares vesting will be between 50 per cent and 100 per cent calculated on a pro rata basis. Directors Mark Turnage and Mike Angus have been granted initial awards of up to 250,000 and 200,000 Shares respectively.
