SysGroup plc (AIM:SYS), the technology partner for delivery and management of cloud, data and security services to power Artificial Intelligence ("AI") and Machine Learning ("ML") transformation, announces that on 20 August 2024 the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors made share awards over 2,489,846 ordinary shares of £0.01 each under the SysGroup plc Performance Share Plan ("PSP") and 300 conditional share awards under the SysGroup plc Value Creation Plan ("VCP") (together, the "Plans"). These Plans were approved by shareholders at the general meeting on 24 June 2024 and have subsequently been adopted by the Board.

The structure of the Plans is as set out in the announcement made by the Group on 6 June 2024.

Under the VCP, participants will subscribe to conditional share awards, which consist of A ordinary shares of £0.01 each in a wholly owned subsidiary holding company, SysGroup Holding (No 1) Limited (company number 15880286). The subscription price for these shares has been determined based on the Unrestricted Market Value of the shares, as calculated by an independent adviser, for UK tax PAYE best estimate purposes.

Participants in the VCP have also received awards under the PSP which take the form of nil cost options over ordinary shares in the Company, and which vest subject to performance against financial targets over a three year period. The PSP awards will not be exercisable until 26 June 2029, the measurement date of the VCP. If the VCP awards vest, a corresponding reduction will be made to the number of shares that vest under the PSP awards to ensure that participants benefit from only one of the Plans.
