Grants under Long Term Incentive Plan and Acquisition of Shares by way of Inheritance
ITM Power PLC (the "Company") announces that on 16 December 2021 awards over ordinary shares of £0.05 each in the capital of the Company were granted to all staff under the ITM Power PLC Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP").
No consideration is payable for the grant of the awards, which are structured as nominal cost options at an option exercise price of £0.05 per ordinary share. The number of ordinary shares granted under the award has been calculated using a share price of 394 pence, being the average mid-market quotation as derived from AIM for the last 5 days of trading prior to close on 15 December 2021.
The awards are subject to a three-year vesting period (and for the Executive Directors a further two-year holding period), as well as to the achievement of performance conditions and the participant being a director or employee within the Company's group at that time.
The LTIP awards granted to Executive Directors (who are Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities) are as follows:
