Grant of options

Tracsis announces that, following a meeting of the Group's remuneration committee, on 5 February 2021 it granted 13,482 share options to Andrew Kelly, Chief Financial Officer.

This award is part of Tracsis' Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) and is designed to retain and motivate Executive Directors whilst at the same time setting challenging performance targets that are specifically aligned with the Group's strategic goals and shareholder interests.

The options awarded have an exercise price of 0.4p and are directly linked to performance targets based on Group profitability and Total Shareholder Return relative to an AIM peer group determined by Tracsis' remuneration committee.

Full award is only exercisable should statutory diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) for the year ending 31 July 2023 be at least 23.78p, and Total Shareholder Return (TSR) versus AIM peer group is in the top quartile.  Where statutory diluted EPS for the year ending 31 July 2023 be less than 20.78p, and TSR versus the peer group is less than the median, no options will be exercisable.  For scenarios between the above range, the options will be exercisable on a straight line sliding scale basis.

The resulting interests of Andrew Kelly in Tracsis plc can be summarised as follows:

	Ordinary shares of 0.4p held	% of issued share capital	LTIP Options held prior to this award	LTIP Options awarded	LTIP Options after this award
