PDMR Shareholding - Grant of Share Options

 

Johnson Service Group PLC (the "Company") announces that it has today granted nil cost options over ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company under the Johnson Service Group 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2018 LTIP Scheme") (the "2023 LTIP Award").

In addition, linked awards were granted on the same date over ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company under the Johnson Service Group 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan CSOP Section (the "2023 Approved LTIP Award") at an exercise price of 117.0 pence each.

The number of options granted to each of the Executive Directors are as follows:

The 2023 LTIP Award options may be exercised on or after 8 March 2026, subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions over the three financial years ending 31 December 2025 and are exercisable up to ten years from the date of grant.

Performance Conditions and Vesting

In determining the applicable performance conditions, the Remuneration Committee has taken into account the Group's business plan as well as the outlook for the sector, general macroeconomic conditions and, to the extent available, the range of analysts' consensus forecasts for the financial year ending 31 December 2025. Following careful consideration, the Remuneration Committee has agreed two separate performance targets. The specific performance conditions are set out below.

Adjusted Profit Before Tax per Share

50 per cent of the 2023 LTIP Award will vest by reference to the Company's adjusted profit before tax ("PBT") per share as at 31 December 2025.  None of the PBT per share element of the 2023 LTIP Award will vest if PBT per share growth is less than 5 per cent per annum above the level of PBT per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2022. One quarter of this element will vest for PBT per share growth of 5 per cent per annum above the PBT per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2022, and the whole of this element will vest for PBT per share growth of 10 per cent per annum or greater above the PBT per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2022. Vesting will be on a straight-line basis if PBT per share growth is between 5 per cent and 10 per cent per annum.

Total Shareholder Return

The remaining 50 per cent of the 2023 LTIP Award will vest by reference to the annualised growth in the Company's net return index ("TSR") over the performance period relative to the annualised growth in the FTSE AIM All-Share Industrial Goods and Services net return index (the "Index") over the performance period.  None of this element of the 2023 LTIP Award will vest if the TSR growth is less than the Index growth, one quarter will vest if the TSR growth is equal to the Index growth and the whole of this element of the 2023 LTIP Award will vest if the TSR growth is at least seven per cent above the Index growth.  Vesting will be on a straight-line basis between these points.

Linked Award

The 2023 Approved LTIP Award has been granted to allow, where possible, the participant to receive part of the gain which may have been received under the 2023 LTIP Award tax efficiently.  The participant will receive the same gross gain as they would have received had they only been granted the 2023 LTIP Award and not been granted the 2023 LTIP Award and the linked 2023 Approved LTIP Award.  At the time of exercise, to the extent that there is a gain on the 2023 Approved 2023 LTIP Award, the options granted under the 2023 LTIP Award will be forfeited to the same value.

Further Holding Period

The 2023 LTIP Award is subject to an additional holding period of two years from the date on which the 2023 LTIP Award vests (the "Holding Period"). During the Holding Period, the 2023 LTIP Award holder may not normally dispose of any of the shares which vest except to cover any income tax or social security contributions arising on the exercise of the 2023 LTIP Award.

Malus, Clawback and Remuneration Committee Discretion

The 2023 LTIP Award will be subject to the 2018 LTIP Scheme rules. In line with its Remuneration Policy, the Remuneration Committee can apply malus and clawback provisions to the 2023 LTIP Award and has discretion to vary formulaic outturns where they do not reflect underlying performance or are inappropriate in the context of unexpected or unforeseen circumstances.
