2015 LTIP Awards vest

Tyman plc, a leading international supplier of engineered components to the door and window industry, announces that following the announcement of the Group's results for the year ended 31 December 2017 and approval by the Remuneration Committee of the Company (the "Committee"), share awards ("2015 Awards") under the Tyman Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"), in the form of nil cost options over ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") vested on 9 March 2018.

The announcement of the Group's results for the year ended 31 December 2017 was the trigger event for the vesting of the 2015 Awards. The 2015 Awards were granted in June 2015 and covered the performance period from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2017. Awards were dependent on the cumulative Underlying Basic EPS from continuing operations for the three years measured against a defined target range.

The Remuneration Committee has satisfied itself that the recorded Underlying Cumulative EPS is a genuine reflection of the underlying business performance of the Group over the performance period and accordingly has approved the vesting of the 2015 Awards at the calculated percentage set out below:

LTIP Award	Target Range	Achievement	% of Award to vest
2015 Awards	69.60p - 78.45p	71.57p	41.69%

The number of awards that have vested for the Executive Directors and the Senior Managers, including dividend shares where eligible, is as follows:

LTIP Award	Executive Directors Shares	Senior Managers Shares	Total Shares
2015 Awards	87,441	175,353	262,794

Executive Directors and certain senior managers are required to retain shares that vest as 2015 Awards until June 2020.

2014 Deferred Share Awards vesting

The following nil cost share awards and type B conditional option awards, including dividend shares where eligible, granted in March 2015 in respect of 50% of the Executive Directors' bonuses and in respect of 25% of senior managers' bonuses for the year ended 31 December 2014 and deferred until the announcement of the results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2017, vested on 9 March 2018:

2014 DSBP Award	Executive Directors Shares
Executive Directors	29,437
Senior Managers	57,202
2014 Awards	86,639

Both the 2015 LTIP Awards and the DSBP Awards will be satisfied in accordance with Group policy through the issuance of shares from the Tyman Employees Benefit Trust ("EBT") and purchases of shares by the EBT.

Following the vesting of the 2015 LTIP Awards and the 2014 DSBP Awards, the Executive Directors' shareholdings in the Company are now as follows:

Director	Ordinary shares	% of issued shares held
James Brotherton	466,561	0.26
Louis Eperjesi	645,458	0.36
