("Craneware" or the "Company")

Grant of Long Term Incentive Plan Awards

4 September 2019 - The Board of Craneware plc (AIM: CRW.L), the market leader in Value Cycle software solutions for the US healthcare market, announces that on 4 September 2019, under the terms of the Craneware plc Long Term Incentive Plan (2016) ("LTIP"), a conditional award of ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Shares") was granted to two Directors of the Company as follows:  

Director	No. of Shares over which a conditional share award was granted	Percentage of issued share capital
Keith Neilson (CEO)	17,100	0.06%
Craig Preston (CFO)	12,710	0.05%

The awards will ordinarily vest after three years subject to:

(i) the satisfaction of certain performance conditions based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") performance relative to the performance achieved by the constituent companies within the FTSE AIM 100 Index; and

(ii) the Director's continued employment.

The performance conditions are measured in three tranches such that one third of the Shares over which the LTIP awards subsist will vest based on performance over the three years ending on 30 June 2020, one third based on performance over the three years ending 30 June 2021 and the final third based on performance over the three years to 30 June 2022 - an aggregate five year period. Any tranche (or part thereof) that does not meet the performance criteria will lapse and not be re-tested in later years.

There was no consideration for the grant of the LTIP awards and no consideration will be payable by the award holders to receive the Shares from these LTIP awards, if and to the extent that they vest.
