Secure Trust Bank PLC

Secure Trust Bank PLC (the "Company" or the "Group")

Grant of awards under the Company's 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") and the Company's 2017 Deferred Bonus Plan ("DBP")

On 21 April 2026 the Company granted nil-cost options over ordinary shares of 40p each ("Ordinary Shares") under the LTIP to the following PDMRs:

PDMR	Number of Ordinary Shares over which options granted
Ian Corfield	52,192
Rachel Lawrence	38,015
Andrew Phillips	21,929
Luke Jooste	13,421
James Appleby	7,309

Each option has been granted subject to performance conditions which will be set by the Remuneration Committee in line with the disclosure provided in the Directors Remuneration Report, within the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025, which is available on the Company's website (www.securetrustbank.com/investors). The performance conditions will also include an underpin measure which includes an assessment of general financial performance, shareholder experience, risk management performance and progress against the Group's strategy. The performance period in each case is a period of three years starting on 1 January 2026 and ending 31 December 2028.

Each option will, ordinarily, vest on the date on which the Company's Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors, determines the extent to which the performance conditions have been satisfied or three years from the date of grant.  Each option will be released so that the participant is entitled to exercise the vested Ordinary Shares on the vesting date, except in the case of Ian Corfield and Rachel Lawrence when the date of release will be at the end of a holding period which will end on the second anniversary of the vesting date. 

The number of shares under each option was set by reference to a value per Ordinary Share of £13.68, which was the 3-day average mid-market price determined between 17 April 2026 to 20 April 2026.

On 21 April 2026 the Company also granted the following awards over Ordinary Shares under the DBP in respect of bonuses earned for the period ended 31 December 2025. 

PDMR	Number of Ordinary Shares subject to DBP award
Ian Corfield	6,045
Rachel Lawrence	9,410
Andrew Phillips	2,558

Each award has been granted in the form of a nil-cost Option and, subject to the rules of the Plan, will normally vest on:

·    on 21 April 2027 as regards one third of the shares subject to it;

·    on 21 April 2028 as regards one third of the shares subject to it; and

·    on 21 April 2029 as regards one third of the shares subject to it.
