Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) - 2016 Awards
The Vitec Group plc ("the Company") announces that on 1 March
2016 the following awards of ordinary shares of 20 pence each were
made under the Company's LTIP to Directors and PDMRs.
Name Position Award of LTIP shares
(subject to satisfaction
of performance conditions)
--------------- --------------- ----------------------------
Stephen Group Chief
Bird Executive 103,362
--------------- --------------- ----------------------------
Group Finance
Paul Hayes Director 71,057

Martin Green PDMR 43,269

Marco Pezzana PDMR 51,448

Jon Bolton PDMR 31,953
--------------- --------------- ----------------------------
Subject to satisfaction of performance conditions, the awards
made under the Long Term Incentive Plan will vest following the end
of the three year performance period on 1 March 2019.
50% of the award is subject to the Company's total shareholder
return ("TSR") ranked against the constituents of the FTSE 250
index (excluding financial services companies and investment
trusts). For median performance in the comparator group there will
be 25% vesting and for upper quartile performance there will be
full vesting, with a straight line sliding scale between these two
points. None of this part of the award will vest for TSR
performance below the median.
50% of the award is subject to the growth in the Company's basic
earnings per share, excluding restructuring costs and charges
associated with acquired businesses ("Adjusted EPS"). Adjusted EPS
growth of 5% average per annum will be threshold with 25% of this
part of the award vesting and Adjusted EPS growth of 12% or higher
average per annum will result in all of this part of the award
vesting, with a straight line sliding scale between these two
points. None of this part of the award will vest for Adjusted EPS
growth lower than 5% average per annum.
Both performance conditions are independent of one another.
Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) - Lapse of 2013 Awards
The Company further confirms that neither of the performance
conditions associated with awards made under the LTIP on 21 March
2013 reached threshold performance conditions for vesting and hence
all awards under the 2013 LTIP will lapse on their third
anniversary on 21 March 2016. The performance conditions were based
50% on earnings per share growth and 50% on Total Shareholder
Return performance compared to a comparator group.
Details of the number of awards that have lapsed along with each
Executive Director and PDMR's current holdings in the Company's
shares following this lapse and the award of the 2016 LTIP are set
out below.
