("Yü Group" or the "Group")  

Grant and Confirmation of Share Options

Yü Group PLC (AIM: YU.), the independent supplier of gas and electricity, and meter asset owner and installer of smart meters, announces the grant of 682,000 share options (the "Options") over ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") to five people discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs"). The options have an exercise price 1,503p per Option and vest on 19 March 2029.

The Options are subject to the achievement of weighted performance targets related to profitability, growth, cash and meter installations achieved over the performance period between 2026 and 2028. If performance is below the specific target, then a weighted proportion of the Option will not vest. If all performance targets are achieved the Options will fully vest.

In order to align to the Group's revised strategic plan, previously granted options over 348,000 Ordinary Shares have also been varied so they vest on the same date (19 March 2029) and carry the same performance conditions as the newly granted Options. In addition, 22,222 options previously awarded to Paul Rawson, a non-executive director, have been agreed to be cancelled.

Following the grant of the Options, PDMRs hold the following options:

Director / PDMR	Existing options over Ordinary Shares held	Number of Options granted / cancelled	Total options held following grant	% of current issued share capital held under options
Bobby Kalar, CEO	397,894	360,000	757,894	4.40%

Paul Rawson, Non-Executive Director	209,222	(22,222)	187,000	1.09%

Following today's grant of Options and cancellation, the Company currently has options outstanding over a total of 1,972,849 Ordinary Shares, representing 11.46% of the Company's current issued share capital.
