IG Design Group Plc
('Design Group' or the 'Company')
Long Term Incentive Plan Awards
The Company announces that on 9 August 2023, it awarded a total of 443,342 and 260,330 nil cost options ("Options") over ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to Paul Bal, Chief Executive Officer, and Rohan Cummings, Chief Financial Officer, respectively, under the Company's 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP 2023 - 2026").
The awards are consistent with the terms summarised in the Directors' Remuneration Report on page 74 of the FY2023 Annual Report and Accounts and accordingly are subject to certain performance conditions set by the Company's Remuneration Committee being achieved during a three year period (two thirds based on relative TSR vs FTSE SmallCap (ex IT) constituents; one-third based on EPS growth). An 'underpin' condition also applies to the awards that allows the Remuneration Committee to reduce vesting levels if it determines that vesting outcomes reflect unwarranted 'windfall gains' from share price movements. In addition, Mr Bal and Mr Cummings have committed to a two-year holding period.
Details of the awards made to each Director and their resulting interests in the Company are detailed in the table below.
