("Fintel" or the "Company")

Implementation of Value Builder Plan, and PDMR dealing

Fintel plc (AIM: FNTL) is pleased to announce the implementation of its Value Builder Plan (" VB Plan ") and a number of initial grants of awards under the VB Plan to colleagues. The VB Plan has been created, following extensive consultation with many of the Company's shareholders, to incentivise our executive and senior teams to deliver long-term value creation for shareholders.

Closure of MIP scheme

The Management Incentive Plan (" MIP ") has been satisfied in full via the allotment of shares (see RNS 0179S of 11 November 2021 for full details). No further awards will be made under the MIP and the scheme is therefore closed.

New Value Builder Plan

The VB plan creates a distributable value pot (" Value Pot "), the size of which is determined as being a fixed proportion of the growth in the market capitalisation of the Company over three-year performance periods. It is the intention to base the VB Plan on annual awards ("Tranches"), and the first Tranche has a performance period from 01 May 2021 to 30 April 2024.

The size of the Value Pot in any one Tranche is set at 5.5% of the growth in market capitalisation achieved in the relevant performance period.

In addition, the awards will be subject to a floor of Earnings Per Share (EPS) growth, set by the Remuneration Committee ("RemCo").

The Value Pot for each Tranche will be allocated at the discretion of RemCo, and will consist of each participant receiving a fixed allocation of units ("Units"), from a total of 100 notional Units. Any unallocated Units may be allocated later at RemCo's discretion.

Each annual award will allow for up to a two-year vesting window following the end of the respective performance period, and RemCo will retain the authority to determine whether to make settlement (which will be settled net of any income tax or national insurance arising) in ordinary shares in Fintel plc ("Fintel Shares") or in cash.

RemCo have full discretion to amend the terms of the VB Plan to take account of, for example, corporate activities such as acquisitions to ensure the performance targets remain appropriate.

Award size and performance conditions

On 29 November 2021, the first awards were allocated under the VB Plan (" Tranche 1 "). The value that will accrue under Tranche 1 is fixed at 5.5% of the growth in market capitalisation between 1 May 2021 and 30 April 2024.

42 Units were allocated to Directors in the amounts listed in the table below and 40 Units were allocated to other PDMRs details of which are in the disclosure tables further below. An additional 18 units were allocated amongst 18 key personnel within the Company (non-PDMR's).
