("Renew" or the "Group")

Exercise of Options

Renew (AIM: RNWH), the leading Engineering Services Group supporting the maintenance and renewal of critical UK infrastructure, announces that today options ("LTIP Options") over a total of 94,539 ordinary shares have been exercised by Paul Scott, CEO (37,936), Sean Wyndham-Quin, CFO (29,027) and Andries Liebenberg, Executive Director (27,576).

The LTIP Options had an exercise price of 10p per ordinary share. In accordance with the LTIP rules and noting that the Executive Directors' existing shareholdings already exceed the shareholding guidelines, the Remuneration Committee elected to settle the exercise of the LTIP Options in cash, simplifying the settlement process and bringing shareholders the incremental benefit of avoiding dilution. Accordingly, to settle the exercise of their LTIP Options the Executive Directors will receive a cash payment determined by reference to 832.5 pence (being the 5-day volume weighted average price to the close of business on 18 December 2023) for each ordinary share in respect of which their LTIP Option was exercised less 10 pence per share. The payment will be taxable in the normal manner.

Following this exercise, the shareholdings of Paul Scott, Sean Wyndham-Quin and Andries Liebenberg will remain unchanged, and they therefore continue to hold shares in excess of the shareholding guidelines as set out in the Remuneration Policy.

	No of Shares	Value	Annual Salary	% of Salary	Shareholding Guideline
Paul Scott	232,932	£1,939,159	£404,250	480%	100%
Sean Wyndham-Quin	132,532	£1,103,329	£309,750	356%	100%
Andries Liebenberg	49,481	£411,929	£294,000	140%	100%

The current total number of ordinary shares of 10p each in issue is 79,133,889 and following the exercise noted above there is a total of 603,015 ordinary shares remaining outstanding under LTIP options none of which have yet vested.
