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.

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.

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").

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.
