Strip Tinning Holdings plc

("Strip Tinning" or the "Company")

Grant of Options under 2022 Performance Share Plan

Director/PDMR Dealing

Strip Tinning Holdings plc (AIM: STG), a leading supplier of specialist connection systems to the automotive sector, announces that, under the terms of the Company's 2022 Performance Share Plan (the "PSP")[1], the Board has granted nominal cost op ti ons (the "Options") over 960,908 ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to certain Directors and employees discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs"), as set out below.

The Board believes it is key that the Company retains and incen ti vises its senior execu ti ve team to drive the business forward and align their interests with those of shareholders. This forms the basis for the grant of the Options.  

Richard Barton, Group CEO, has chosen not to accept any options under the PSP, due to his already significant shareholding.

The Op ti ons will vest subject to the Company achieving certain financial performance criteria for the financial year ending 31 December 2025. The financial performance criteria are based on the Group as a whole, with 50% of the Op ti ons awarded subject to achieving total shareholder return hurdles and 50% subject to achieving underlying opera ti ng profit hurdles. The Remuneration Committee of the Board 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.

The Options will vest from 3 March 2026 (the "Vesting Period"), being three years from the grant date.

The Options awarded to PDMRs are set out in the table below. 

Director/ PDMR	Position	Options granted
Adam Robson	Executive Chair	413,636
Mark Perrins	Managing Director	203,636
Adam Le Van	Chief Financial Officer	171,818
Steve O'Connor	Group Sales Director	171,818
