ThinkSmart Limited

Grant of LTIP Awards

ThinkSmart Limited ("ThinkSmart" or the "Company"), a leading provider in the UK of retail point-of-sale lease finance for high-volume small-ticket electronic and commercial equipment, announces that it has granted share options ("Options") to certain of its executive directors and senior management team to acquire a total of 4,660,116 ordinary shares of no par value of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") under the ThinkSmart Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"). The LTIP adopted by the Company is the same as the prospective "New LTIP" as set out in section 10.4 of the Company's Admission Document, however the exercise price of the Options has been increased from nil to 22 pence per share (being the Company's share price published on Friday 16 December) and the number of Options granted has been increased by 35% to reflect the higher exercise price. These changes have been made to further align the interests of executive directors and senior management with those of Shareholders.

*includes 1,750,000 loan funded shares of which 250,000 have vested.

All Options have been granted with an exercise price of 22p and will vest (subject to performance conditions) after a period of three years from grant. All Options are subject to achievement of certain performance conditions as follows: 75% of the Options granted will vest subject to the satisfaction of EPS condition 1 and the balance of the Options will vest subject to the satisfaction of EPS condition 2. Earnings per share ("EPS") growth will be calculated for EPS condition 1 using the basic EPS of the Company as stated in the consolidated accounts and EPS growth for EPS condition 2 will be calculated excluding profit generated by business transacted by any member of the ThinkSmart group with any member of the Dixons Carphone plc group (non Dixons EPS) over the performance period. 25% of the Options under the LTIP will vest if 15% EPS growth (subject to EPS conditions 1 & 2) over the performance period is achieved and 100% of the Options under the LTIP will vest if 50% EPS growth is achieved during the performance period, with a linear increment between 25% and 100%. The performance period will be from 1 July 2016 - 30 June 2019. The Options are exercisable over the period of 10 years from the date of grant. Following the above LTIP grants, the Company have granted Options over 11,243,449 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 10.66% of the current issued share capital, of which Options over 4,660,116 Ordinary Shares are included in the calculation of the 10% limit under the LTIP and other share plan rules.
