Grant of Options under Share Reward Plan

and Vesting of Deferred Awards under Senior Executive Incentive Plan

 

Jet2 plc, the Leisure Travel group, announces that 2,114,466 options have today been granted under the Jet2 plc Share Reward Plan (the "Plan").

As previously announced, awards under the Plan take the form of options to acquire the Company's ordinary shares of 1.25p each ("Ordinary Shares") at the shares' nominal value and which will vest three years following the date of grant and will lapse ten years from the anniversary of the date of grant.  Recipients must be employed and not be under notice given or received at vesting and must have worked and contributed throughout the vesting period. 

The total number of shares awarded under the Plan in 2022 represents 0.98%; the Company continues to operate all of its share plans within the 10% in 10 years share plans dilution limit.

Details of the awards to PDMRs under the Plan are as follows:
