Directors' Share Options

Driver Group PLC, the global professional services consultancy to construction and engineering industries announces the surrender of existing Share Options held by certain Directors and the grant of new Share Options to certain Directors as detailed below.

Steven Norris, Chairman, has surrendered existing options over 600,000 Ordinary Shares with an exercise price of 63.5 pence per share; and Mark Wheeler, Chief Operating Officer, has surrendered nil cost options over 600,000 Ordinary Shares all of which options were due to expire on 30 September 2018.

The Company has granted new nil cost Share Options to Steven Norris, Chairman; Gordon Wilkinson, Chief Executive; Mark Wheeler, Chief Operating Officer; and David Kilgour, Chief Financial Officer over up to 1,500,000 Ordinary Shares in aggregate, split as follows:

   Steven Norris               150,000 Ordinary Shares 
   Gordon Wilkinson       600,000 Ordinary Shares 
   Mark Wheeler             600,000 Ordinary Shares 
   David Kilgour               150,000 Ordinary Shares 

Gordon Wilkinson holds existing unvested nil cost Share Options over up to 600,000 Ordinary Shares which are exercisable as to 300,000 Ordinary Shares if PBET for the financial year ending 30 September 2018 is equal to or exceeds GBP3.0m; and as to a further 300,000 shares if PBET for the financial year ending 30 September 2019 is equal to or exceeds GBP3.7m. The new Share Options issued to Steven Norris, Mark Wheeler and David Kilgour will become exercisable in three equal tranches in 2018, 2019, and 2020, in the case of the 2018 and 2019 tranches subject to the achievement of performance targets identical to those attaching to Gordon Wilkinson's existing Share Options; and in the case of the financial year ending 30 September 2020, if PBET for the period is equal to or exceeds GBP4.5m. Gordon Wilkinson's new Share Options will become exercisable in two equal tranches in 2020 and 2021, in the case of the financial year ending 30 September 2020, if PBET for the period is equal to or exceeds GBP4.5m; and in the case of the financial year ending 30 September 2021, if PBET for the period is equal to or exceeds GBP5.5m.

Gordon Wilkinson's existing unvested nil cost Share Options and all of the new nil cost Share Options are also exercisable immediately in the event of a change of control of Driver prior to satisfaction of the performance conditions, in the case of Steven Norris, Gordon Wilkinson and Mark Wheeler in increasing proportions linked to the offer price which triggers a change of control; and in the case of David Kilgour in increasing proportions depending upon the timing of the change of control event.

Gordon Wilkinson, Mark Wheeler and David Kilgour have each been granted additional nil cost Performance Share Options over Ordinary Shares exercisable in Gordon Wilkinson's case as to 10,000 Ordinary Shares for every GBP100,000 by which reported PBET in each of the financial years ending 30 September 2020 and 30 September 2021 exceeds the PBET thresholds set out above; in Mark Wheeler's case as to 6,667 Ordinary Shares for every GBP100,000 by which reported PBET in each of the financial years ending 30 September 2018, 30 September 2019 and 30 September 2020 exceeds the PBET thresholds set out above; and in David Kilgour's case as to 1,667 Ordinary Shares for every GBP100,000 by which reported PBET in each of the financial years ending 30 September 2018, 30 September 2019 and 30 September 2020 exceeds the PBET thresholds set out above.

Driver has in addition granted to Mark Wheeler an unconditional award of nil cost Share Options over 200,000 Ordinary Shares in recognition of his contribution to the improvement in the trading performance and prospects of the Group over the last eighteen months; and has confirmed the award to David Kilgour, in accordance with the terms of his offer of employment with the Group, of nil cost Share Options over 50,000 Ordinary Shares on condition that he first purchase 50,000 Ordinary Shares on his own account (which condition was satisfied on 20 December 2017).

Excluding Performance Share Options, the resulting interests of the Directors in Driver Ordinary Shares are as follows:

 
                                           Vested but 
                                           unexercised      Unvested Share
