Award of Options
Tracsis, a leading transport technology provider, announces that following a meeting of the Group's Remuneration Committee, on 22 January 2025 it awarded 82,774 share options to Chris Barnes, Chief Executive Officer and PDMR of the Company and 57,046 share options to Andy Kelly, Chief Financial Officer and PDMR of the Company.
In addition to the above, authority was provided to the Executive Directors to award share options to other senior managers who are not PDMRs of the Company, resulting in a total award not exceeding 319,000 shares (including those awarded to the Executive Directors).
Subject to performance conditions and vesting, these options will become exercisable on 1 December 2027.
This award is part of Tracsis' Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) and is designed to retain and motivate the senior leadership team whilst at the same time setting challenging performance targets that are specifically aligned with the Group's strategic goals and shareholder interests.
The options awarded have an exercise price of 0.4p and are directly linked to performance targets based on Group profitability and Total Shareholder Return relative to an AIM peer group determined by Tracsis' Remuneration Committee.
The full award is only exercisable should the compound annual growth rate for adjusted diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) for the year ending 31 July 2027 compared with the same measure for the year ending 31 July 2024 be at least 27%, and Total Shareholder Return (TSR) versus AIM peer group is in the top quartile. Where the compound annual growth rate for adjusted diluted EPS for the year ending 31 July 2027 compared with the same measure for the year ending 31 July 2024 is less than 17%, and TSR versus the peer group is less than the median, no options will be exercisable. For scenarios between the above range, the options will be exercisable on a straight line sliding scale basis.
The resulting interests of Chris Barnes and Andy Kelly in Tracsis can be summarised as follows:
