("Accrol", the "Group" or the "Company")

 

Awards under Long Term Incentive Plan and PDMR dealing

 

Accrol (AIM: ACRL), the UK's leading independent tissue converter, announces the second grant of options to executive Directors and certain senior management under the Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") announced on 5 March 2021.

 

The LTIP was established to incentivise management to deliver long-term value creation for shareholders and ensure alignment with shareholder interests.

 

Background

 

The LTIP is based on market standard annual awards and is limited to a maximum of 5% of the issued share capital of the Company over its five-year life assuming all existing LTIP options are exercised.

 

All awards made under the LTIP will be made by the granting of nil-cost options established in accordance with the rules of the LTIP and vesting is subject to adjusted EBITDA targets in line with the LTIP rules.

 

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 any material misstatement of the financial statements, a serious breach of the Company's code of ethics or a serious health and safety issue.

 

Award size, performance conditions and dilution

 

On 5 February 2024, options over 2,594,718 shares in aggregate (the "2024 Awards") were granted under the LTIP, including those set out below which were granted to directors and other persons discharging managerial responsibility:

If the maximum targets are met in FY26, the total dilutive impact of the 2024 Awards will be 0.8%. The maximum aggregate dilutive effect of awards then issued under the LTIP will stand at 4.94% of the fully diluted share capital of the Company assuming all existing LTIP options are exercised.
