Kistos Holdings plc 2021 Equity Incentive Plan ("the Plan")
The number of Ordinary Shares over which the LTIP Awards were granted was based on a percentage of base salary, converted into a number of Ordinary Shares using a share price of 180 pence per Ordinary Share, being the average mid-market closing share price for the five business days prior to the vesting commencement date, as derived from the London Stock Exchange daily official list.
In summary, the vesting of the LTIP Awards is dependent on continued employment and the achievement of performance conditions against certain Total Shareholder Returns and strategic targets, tested over a three-year performance period commencing on 1 January 2026.
The notifications set out at the end of this announcement, made in accordance with UK MAR, provide further detail in relation to the LTIP Awards granted.
