Grants under Long Term Incentive Plan

 

ITM Power PLC (the "Company") announces that on 6 December 2024 awards over ordinary shares of £0.05 each in the capital of the Company were granted to certain employees under the ITM Power PLC Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP").

No consideration is payable for the grant of the awards which are structured as nominal cost options at an option exercise price of £0.05 per ordinary share. The number of ordinary shares granted under the award has been calculated using a share price of 33.96 pence, being the average mid-market quotation as derived from AIM for the last 5 days of trading prior to 6 December 2024. 

 

The awards are subject to an overall three-year vesting period (followed by a further two-year holding period), as well as to the achievement of the performance conditions and the participant being a director or employee within the Company's group at that time.

 

The LTIP awards granted to Executive Directors (who are Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities) are as follows:

 

Name of Director/PDMR	Number of Shares over which the LTIP Award is granted	£ value of grant as a % of current salary
Dennis Schulz, CEO	1,675,501	100%
Andrew Allen, CFO	975,141	97%
Simon Bourne, CTO	1,005,300	100%

 

As disclosed in the Company's remuneration report for the year ending 30 April 2024, the awards for the above employees have been linked to salary in line with prior years.

 

The vesting of an award is subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions which have been set by the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. 40% of the award is subject to the growth in the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR").  The TSR performance shall be assessed annually and is capable of being "banked" in equal thirds during the 3-year performance period. The remaining 60% is subject to stretching financial and operational metrics related to EBITDA, sales order intake and successful project execution. The financial and sales order intake conditions shall be assessed annually and are capable of being "banked" in equal thirds during the performance period, and the project execution condition will be assessed at the end of the 3-year performance period.

 

The notification is intended to satisfy the Company's obligations under Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulations.
