The EBT is a discretionary trust that was established on IPO for the benefit of employees (including Partners) and operates in connection with the FRP Equity Incentive Plan ("EIP").

The Ordinary Shares held by the EBT will be used, in accordance with the EIP, to satisfy awards made to both existing Partners and employees and to incentivise and attract new colleagues. Following the commencement of options vesting from 6 March 2023, Ordinary Shares will be transferred to employees (including Partners) and dividend rights will accrue.

Following the above transaction, the EBT holds a total of 26,944,041 Ordinary Shares representing 10.82 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
