TP Group plc
("TP Group" or the "Company" or the "Group")
Replacement and grant of share options
TP Group (AIM: TPG), the specialist services and engineering
group, announces a number of measures relating to share options
following a review of executive incentives conducted by the
Company's Remuneration Committee in consultation with its major
shareholders.
All share options held by Phil Cartmell and Simon Kings were
cancelled on 9 May 2017 (the "Cancelled Options") and new share
options, as detailed below, were granted to them and Derren Stroud
on the same date (the "New Options"). In addition, share options
have been granted to a number of key senior managers within the
business. The Remuneration Committee has taken these steps in order
to retain key individuals and to incentivise the Group's leadership
to drive increased shareholder value.

New Options
The New Options are exercisable at a price of 7p (representing
the closing mid-market price of an ordinary share on 8 May 2017)
are split into three tranches, and are subject to the following
conditions:
-- Each tranche will vest evenly over three years
-- Each tranche is subject to performance criteria as follows:
o Tranche 1 being that Company's share price is no less than
9.1p for 20 consecutive dealing days on or before the 3(rd)
anniversary of the date of grant.
o Tranche 2 will vest if Company's share price is no less than
10.5p for 20 consecutive dealing days between the 1(st) and 4(th)
anniversary of the date of grant
o Tranche 3 will vest if Company's share price is no less than
12.1p for 20 consecutive dealing days between the 2(nd) and 5(th)
anniversary of the date of grant.
The Remuneration Committee has sole discretion in determining
whether the performance criteria thresholds have been met and, in
doing so, has the discretion to add to the share price (averaged
over the 20 dealing days described above) the amount of any
dividends paid over the relevant period. If unexercised, all of the
New Options will lapse on 9 May 2027.
