Grant of Awards under Long Term Incentive Plan

D4t4 Solutions Plc (AIM: D4t4, "the Group", "D4t4"), the AIM-listed data solutions provider, announces that on 26 August 2022, Bill Bruno, CEO and Ash Mehta, CFO were granted options over ordinary shares of two pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). 

Awards were made in two tranches as set out below under the terms of the D4t4 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP").

Director/ PDMR	Position	Tranche A (Shares)	Tranche B (Shares)
Bill Bruno	Chief Executive Officer	121,065	40,921
Ash Mehta	Chief Financial Officer	55,102	17,770

Vesting of awards in Tranche A is subject to the satisfaction over the three-year period, beginning 1 April 2022, of specified performance conditions, based on the Company's relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) in respect of half of the award, and growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in respect of the other half.  Vesting criteria have been set as follows:

·   15% annual compound growth in ARR to achieve minimum award vesting, with a sliding scale above this level, up to full vesting at 27.5% compound growth; and

·   TSR of no less than median performance against the selected benchmark for minimum vesting, with a sliding scale above this level, up to full vesting for top-quartile performance.                        

Tranche B relates to the grant of deferred bonus awards (in lieu of a portion of the cash award) relating to the 2021/22 Bonus Plan. The award is in the form of an option to acquire shares at an exercise price of £0.02 per share, normally vesting on the 2nd anniversary of grant, subject to continued employment, and as a 'Deferred Bonus Award' is therefore not subject to performance conditions. The Tranche B awards will benefit from dividend equivalents in accordance with the LTIP Rules.
