FLOWTECH FLUIDPOWER PLC
("Flowtech" or the "Company")
Specialist full-service supplier of technical fluid power products and services
Grant of Options under Long-Term Incentive Plan
Flowtech Fluidpower plc, the UK's leading specialist supplier of technical fluid power products and services, announces that the Board's Remuneration Committee has approved the conditional grant of nil cost options over ordinary shares of 50 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP").
On 29 April 2022, options over 326,924 Ordinary Shares, in aggregate (the "2022 Awards") were granted under the LTIP to executive directors as set out below:
| Director | Role | Number of shares over which 2022 Awards are made | Total LTIP options held following 2022 Awards |
| Bryce Brooks | Chief Executive Officer | 173,077 | 360,577 |
| Russell Cash | Chief Financial Officer | 153,847 | 320,514 |
The LTIP is designed to incentivise management to deliver long-term value creation for shareholders and ensure alignment with shareholder interests.
The vesting of awards is subject to both share price and EPS performance criteria measured on the results for the three year financial period to 31 December 2024. The Remuneration Committee has discretion to amend these terms to take account of, for example, corporate activities such as acquisitions to ensure that the performance targets remain appropriate. Malus and clawback provisions are also in place to reduce or recover any awards for criteria such as a material misstatement of the financial statements or a serious breach of the Company's code of ethics.
The number of shares in respect of which the 2022 Awards shall vest and may be exercised, shall depend upon the extent to which the demanding performance conditions are satisfied.
