EIP Award Vesting

Further to the announcement published on 22 July 2021, JTC further announces the vesting of the awards granted on 22 July 2021 under the JTC Employee Incentive Plan ("EIP"), which vested in full on 22 July 2022.

Members of the JTC Group Holdings Board and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs") have received awards over Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each in Company ("Ordinary Shares"), as detailed below.

The Remuneration Committee of JTC PLC agreed that Ordinary Shares would be sold to cover PDMRs' immediately arising income tax and national insurance liabilities.

The awards were satisfied by the transfer of existing Ordinary Shares held by the Trustee of the JTC PLC EBT to each participant on 25 July 2022.

The table below shows the number of Ordinary Shares vesting, the number of Ordinary Shares sold and the number of Ordinary Shares received following the sales.

PDMRs	Number of Ordinary Shares vested	Number of Ordinary Shares sold to satisfy income tax and national insurance liabilities	Additional Ordinary Shares sold	Number of Ordinary Shares retained

EIP Award Grant

JTC was one of the first professional services firms to recognise the importance of employee shared ownership in attracting and retaining high quality people, keeping them motivated and dedicated to delivering exceptional performance.

The EIP, like its predecessor schemes, is designed to recognise and reward employees' contribution to the long-term performance of the whole Group, linked to JTC's multi-year business plans.

Following the successful delivery of JTC's 'Odyssey Era' business plan, which ran from 2018 to the end of 2020, the Remuneration Committee approved the first award made under the EIP to all eligible employees on 22 July 2021.

Given the importance placed on all JTC employees being direct 'owners' of the business, the Remuneration Committee has been pleased to approve a contingent 'JTC Joiner' award to all permanent employees who have joined the Group since the first award made under the EIP, and who have successfully completed any applicable probationary period.

An aggregate award of 14,490 Ordinary Shares was granted to 308 employees on 22 July 2022 under the rules of the EIP in the form of a conditional right to receive a share award on the second anniversary of Grant, subject to a continuing employment condition.

No Executive Director or PDMR of the Company has received an award.

The awards will be satisfied by the transfer of existing Ordinary Shares held by the Trustee of the JTC PLC EBT on vesting.

It is intended that similar 'JTC Joiner' awards will be granted to all future permanent employees of the Group under the rules of the EIP.
