Bidstack Group Plc

("Bidstack" or the "Company")

Grant of LTIP Options

Bidstack Group plc (AIM: BIDS), the native in-game advertising group, announces that , on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, has made an aggregate of 27,930,000 LTIP awards to Camila Franklin and Jude O'Connor (the "Executives").

In addition, the Company has made awards of a further 3,400,000 EMI and 15,525,350 unapproved share options to certain employees and 2,000,000 unapproved options to David Reeves, its Chairman.

For the purposes of the new LTIP awards to the Executives and others, the awards have been made in two categories, each subject to different performance criteria.

For the first set of LTIP awards ("First Awards") the Remuneration Committee considered that the most appropriate performance target for the Company at this stage in its development is revenue. The vesting schedule below highlights the details for the achievement of the awards.

 
 Revenue             Vesting Schedule 
  % on target         % vesting 
 90 and above        100 
                    ------------------------ 
 Between 75 and 90   50 - 100 (straight line 
                      basis between points) 
                    ------------------------ 
 75                  50 
                    ------------------------ 
 Below 75            0 
                    ------------------------ 
 

These LTIP awards also include an operating cost element which, if achieved, can increase the amount of vesting by 10%, in the event the revenue target is missed. Any awards not vesting from Year 1 will be rolled into the Year 2 award.

The second set of LTIP awards ("Second Awards") were intended to create circumstances which ought to lead to exceptional returns for the Company and its shareholders. The Remuneration Committee considered that EBITDA - Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation was an appropriately more challenging performance condition for the Company at this stage. The vesting schedule below highlights the details for the achievement of the second set of LTIP awards.

 
 EBITDA          Vesting Schedule 
  % on target     % vesting 
 100 or above    100 
                ----------------- 
 95 and above    75 
                ----------------- 
 90 and above    50 
                ----------------- 
 Below 90        0 
                ----------------- 
 

The LTIP awards to each of the Executives in each set of awards will vest over a three year period. All of the LTIP awards, when vested, will be exercisable on payment of nominal value only.

The First Awards have been made to the Executives as follows:

 
 Name                 2023        2024        2025        Total 
 Camila Franklin    3,490,901   3,490,901   3,490,948   10,473,750 
                   ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------- 
 Jude O'Connor      3,490,901   3,490,901   3,490,948   10,473,750 
                   ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------- 
 

The Second Awards have been made as follows:

 
 Name                 2023        2024        2025        Total 
 Camila Franklin    1,163,634   1,163,634   1,163,983   3,491,250 
                   ----------  ----------  ----------  ---------- 
 Jude O'Connor      1,163,634   1,163,634   1,163,983   3,491,250 
                   ----------  ----------  ----------  ---------- 
 

The relevant targets will be set by the Remuneration Committee based on the consensus of market expectations.

Notwithstanding the above performance criteria, all of the LTIP awards will vest in the event of a change of control of the Company.

In aggregate the above LTIP awards represent 2.14% of the current issued share capital of the Company as at the date hereof.

In addition to the above the Company has awarded 3,400,000 new EMI options to certain employees granted under the terms of the Bidstack Group Plc EMI Share Option Scheme 2018 ("EMI Options"), 15,525,350 new options to certain employees granted under the terms of the Bidstack Group Plc Unapproved Share Option Scheme 2018 and 2,000,000 unapproved share options to certain Directors and 5,600,000 unapproved share options to certain members of the Advisory Committee granted under the terms of the Bidstack Group Plc Unapproved Share Option Scheme 2018 ("Unapproved Options").

The only unapproved options being granted to a Director ("Director's Options") are as follows:

 
 Name            Number of Options 
 David Reeves            2,000,000 
                ------------------ 
 

These new EMI Options and Unapproved Options together represent 1.46 % of the current issued share capital of the Company as at the date hereof .

Each of these new EMI Options and Unapproved Options will be exercisable at a price of 3 pence per share (being the mid-market closing price on 8 December 2022) with the exception of the Director's Options which will be exercisable at a price of 3.6 pence per share. All of the new EMI Options and Unapproved Options granted to the Director will be exercisable three years after the date of grant, save in usual circumstances including the Company being the subject of a takeover offer, and all of the new options will expire ten years after the date of grant.
