Exercise of Share Options and Admission of New Ordinary Shares

Ten Lifestyle Group plc (AIM: TENG), a leading technology-enabled, global concierge platform for the world's wealthy and mass affluent, announces that it has issued 84,417 new Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") pursuant to the exercise of options by employees under its Company Share Option Plan.

Applications have been made for the 84,417 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 24 December 2020.

The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue following Admission will be 80,761,229. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Grant of Options

The Company has also granted nil cost options to certain 'persons discharging managerial responsibilities' of the Company ("PDMRs") over Ordinary Shares, pursuant to the Ten Lifestyle Group Plc Management Incentive Plan dated 9 November 2017 (the "MIP Options").

PDMR	Position	Number of new MIP Options granted	Resulting total options held over Ordinary Shares
Alex Cheatle	CEO	200,000	1,231,708
Andrew Long	Group COO and  CEO (Asia)	100,000	889,089
Sarah Hornbuckle	Client Services Director	40,000	279,728
Alan Donald	CFO	75,000	469,508

The nil cost MIP Options will vest following announcement of the Company's financial results for the year ending 31 August 2023, subject to the performance conditions of the MIP Options.

The performance conditions are based on total shareholder return ("TSR") and, for some participants, operational targets. For Alex Cheatle, Alan Donald and Sarah Hornbuckle, their performance condition is wholly linked to the compound annual growth rate of TSR. Andrew Long's performance conditions are linked to the compound annual growth rate of TSR as well as to Net Revenue growth in APAC and profit making in that region. The Remuneration Committee believes the aforementioned performance metrics appropriately incentivise and are aligned with the Company's strategic goals and the long-term interests of shareholders.
