This award is consistent with previous annual awards to certain Directors of the Company under the LTIP and will vest three years from this date, with a requirement that the Ordinary Shares be held for a further six months thereafter.
The Awards are subject to the attainment of certain stretching performance conditions relating to the achievement of relative share price growth and achievement of adjusted earnings per share targets, which must be met on the conclusion of the vesting period.

Many of our team members come from backgrounds working within the attractions and cultural industry.

Our staff understands the day-to-day operations of managing complex venues and the challenges this creates, and together we strive to provide our clients and their guests with technology that empowers them to do more and enjoy more. From our agile development team to our dedicated client service specialists, every team member knows that their passion, integrity, commitment, teamwork and innovation are what drive our success.
