On 19 November 2025 the following awards ("LTIP Awards") over ordinary shares of £1 each in Avon Technologies plc were granted under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ('LTIP') to the following person(s) discharging managerial responsibilities:

The LTIP Awards were granted as nil cost options for the three UK resident PDMRs and as a conditional award for James Wilcox who is resident in the US.  The LTIP Awards will ordinarily become exercisable from (or vest on as relevant) 19 November 2028, subject to the grantee's continued service and the Remuneration Committee's assessment of the extent to which the performance conditions applicable to the LTIP Awards are satisfied.

Fifty percent of each LTIP Award is subject to a performance condition relating to the Group's adjusted basic earnings per share ("EPS"). No portion of the EPS element may vest unless the adjusted EPS for the financial year ending 30 September 2028 ("FY28") is at least 130 US cents, for which 0% of the EPS element may vest, rising on a straight-line basis to full vesting of the EPS element for EPS of 160 US cents or better.

Thirty percent of each LTIP Award is subject to a performance condition relating to the Group's return on invested capital ("ROIC"). No portion of the ROIC element may vest unless the ROIC for FY28 is at least 20%, for which 0% of the ROIC element may vest, rising on a straight-line basis to full vesting of the ROIC element for ROIC of 24% or better.

The balance of each LTIP Award is subject to a performance condition relating to total shareholder return ("TSR"). No portion of the TSR element may vest unless TSR (as defined) is at least £22, for which 0% of the TSR element may vest, rising on a straight-line basis to full vesting of the TSR element for TSR of £26 or higher. TSR for the purposes of the TSR element is the average of the closing prices for ordinary shares of the Company for dealing days in the period 1 July 2028 to 30 September 2028 inclusive aggregated with the value of the dividends with record dates in the period 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2028.

The Remuneration Committee retains a general discretion to reduce the extent of vesting of an LTIP Award if it considers that the overall performance of the Company or the grantee does not justify the level of vesting that would otherwise apply.

The LTIP Awards to the Company's Executive Directors are subject to a two year post vesting holding period on a net of tax basis.

Fuller details of the performance conditions applicable to the LTIP Awards will be set out in the Company's Directors' Remuneration Report for the year ending 30 September 2025.
