These Plans were approved by shareholders at the general meeting on 24 June 2024 and have subsequently been adopted by the Board.

The structure of the Plans is as set out in the announcement made by the Group on 6 June 2024.

Under the VCP, participants will subscribe to conditional share awards, which consist of A ordinary shares of £0.01 each in a wholly owned subsidiary holding company, SysGroup Holding (No 1) Limited (company number 15880286). The subscription price for these shares has been determined based on the Unrestricted Market Value of the shares, as calculated by an independent adviser, for UK tax PAYE best estimate purposes.

The PSP awards will not be exercisable until 26 June 2029, the measurement date of the VCP.
