Grant of Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")
Amigo Holdings PLC (LSE: AMGO) announces that on 27 August 2021, awards comprising nil-cost options over 4,350,000 ordinary shares of 0.25 pence each in the Company ("Shares") were granted to managers under the Amigo Holdings PLC 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Awards"). In making the Awards the Board recognises the need to maintain core critical skills and knowledge across the wider management team below Board level. Retention of good staff with core competencies to help move the business forward will remain a challenge given the difficult financial position and uncertainty facing the Company currently.
The vesting of the Awards is conditional on meeting performance conditions measured over a three-year period as described below. The number of shares that vest at the end of the three year performance measurement period will be determined in accordance with the Vesting Schedule outlined in column 5 of the table below. There is a further holding period of two years following the vesting of the Awards.
