Grant of Performance Share Awards
Unbound Group plc (the "Company") announces that it has awarded nil cost options over ordinary shares of 25 pence each in the Company (the "Awards") in accordance with the terms of the Unbound Group plc 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan to the following Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMRs):

|
Dan Lampard |
Chief Financial Officer |
508,365 |
The Awards were granted as Performance Share Awards on 18th March 2022.
The Vesting Date of each Performance Share Award shall be 18th March 2025 and the Exercise Period of each Performance Share Award shall expire on 17th March 2032. A one-year Holding Period applies to each of the Performance Share Awards.
The Vesting of each Performance Share Award is subject to performance conditions as determined by the remuneration committee. These performance conditions and their relative weighting are:
· Annual Compound Total Shareholder Return percentage ('TSR') over the three years to the year ending January 2025 (weighting 50%): Vesting will start from a threshold at 40% pa, with maximum vesting at 70% pa
· Earnings Per Share in the Year to January 2025 (weighting 50%): Vesting will start from a threshold of 18.60 pence per share, with maximum vesting at 22.74 pence per share
In both cases the awards will pay out on a straight line basis from 33% of the maximum award on achievement of the threshold performance and 100% of the maximum award on achievement of the maximum performance.
The awards were quantified, and the opening position for calculation of TSR performance conditions set, with reference to the average closing share price of the share of the company during the month of February 2022 of 55.27 pence per share.
A summary of the terms governing the Unbound Group plc 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan can be found in the Company's admission document.
