Surrender of Options

LONDON (UK), 14 December 2018 - JPJ Group plc (LSE: JPJ) (the "Company") announces today that Jim Ryan, a Non-Executive Director of the Company, has agreed to surrender 30,000 share options that had been awarded on 8 September 2016. Following this surrender, Mr Ryan no longer holds any options over the Company's shares.

These options were a legacy holding resulting from the more common use of share options to compensate Non-Executive Directors in North America. Under the existing Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders at the 2018 AGM, Non-Executive Directors are not eligible to participate in any of the Company's share schemes or incentive schemes in the future.

The surrender of his options allows Mr Ryan to be deemed an independent member of the Board as per the UK Corporate Governance Code. The surrender of options will not involve financial consideration.
