Grant of Conditional Share Awards and PDMR Notification

 

Atalaya Mining (LSE: ATYM) announces that the following conditional share awards have been granted pursuant to the Atalaya Mining Long-Term Incentive Plan 2020 (the "2020 LTIP").

Pursuant to these awards, participants who are Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs") may receive an allocation of shares following the normal vesting date, subject to the extent to which the applicable performance conditions have been satisfied at the end of the three-year performance period and their continuing employment at that time.

As indicated in the Company's 2025 Annual Report, the Company confirms that the vesting of the conditional share awards to the Chief Executive Officer will depend on the achievement of certain performance conditions, full details of which can be found in the 2025 Directors' Remuneration Report.

The vesting date for the conditional share awards to PDMRs will be the later of the third anniversary of the award date and the day following the end of the performance period on which the performance conditions have been assessed and notified to the participant.
