Grant of Options

Filtronic plc (AIM: FTC), the designer and manufacturer of products for the critical communications, wireless telecom and aerospace & defence markets, announces that on 24 June 2021, it granted new share options ("the Options") to the following directors under the existing Filtronic plc Employee Share Option Plan 2020 ("the ESOP") on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee. The options grant is designed to align the interests of the Executive Directors and key members of the management team with the interests of shareholders. As such the vesting of these options is based on achieving certain performance criteria for the three years prior to vesting. The performance criteria under the ESOP are based entirely on revenue growth in the three-year vesting period.

The exercise price for the Options is 11.125 pence per share being the Company's closing mid-market share price on 23 June 2021. The Options lapse on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant and no option can vest before the third anniversary of the date of grant.

In addition to the above, both Executive Directors have elected to participate in the Filtronic plc all Employee Sharesave Scheme (SAYE) where, subject to them making monthly contributions to the Scheme and other conditions, they will each have the option after 1 June 2024 of acquiring a maximum of 58,290 shares each, at an option price of 6.67 per share.
