The above LTIP awards were granted as nominal cost options which will ordinarily become exercisable on 30(th) October 2023 subject to satisfaction of performance conditions in relation to revenue growth, EBITDA growth, cash conversion and increase in share price over three financial years, and also to the grantee's continued service to Tungsten.
