XP Power Limited
("XP Power" or "the Company")
Grant of Restricted Share Plan and Long Term Incentive Plan awards
The Company announces that on 17 March 2023, Executive Directors of the
Company, Gavin Griggs and Andy Sng, were awarded nominal priced options over
ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), under the
XP Power Limited Restricted Share Plan 2020 (the "RSPs") and the XP Power
Limited Long Term Incentive Plan 2017 (the "LTIPs"). The RSPs are subject to a
five year vesting period, with no performance conditions attached. The vesting
of the LTIPs, after five years, is conditional on meeting performance
conditions measured over a three-year period (FY23, FY24 and FY25), which are
as follows:
Earnings per Share ("EPS") - 67% of the 2023 LTIP award
This element vests on the achievement of cumulative adjusted EPS targets for
the three financial years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025:
Vesting Cumulative adjusted EPS
achieved over the Performance
Period
100% 602 pence or above
50% 541 pence
0% 480 pence or below
The vesting percentage for performance outcomes between these
points will be calculated on a straight-line basis
The Remuneration Committee sets the EPS performance range at the start of each
cycle, having due regard to multiple relevant reference points for performance
over the three-year period to ensure that targets are stretching, but
motivational. These include: the Company's strategic plan, market expectations,
the trading environment and the consensus of analysts' forecasts.
Having considered these reference points in the round, the Remuneration
Committee has decided to extend the EPS performance range for the 2023 LTIP,
and lower the payout at threshold from 25% to 0% of maximum. The revised
performance range is considered to represent an appropriate degree of stretch
for the award opportunities granted, in particular the 50% vesting level
(equivalent to c.6% p.a. growth over the performance period) and full vesting
requirement (equivalent to c.12% p.a. growth). Against the revised vesting
schedule, the cumulative EPS performance required to deliver 25% vesting
(previously the threshold outcome) is equivalent to EPS growth over the period
of c.3% p.a.
Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") - 33% of the 2023 LTIP award
This element vests on the Company's relative TSR performance measured against
the constituents of the FTSE250 index (excluding investment trusts) over the
period of three financial years ending 31 December 2025:
Vesting Company TSR over the
Performance Period relative to
the FTSE250 (xIT)
100% 80th percentile or above
25% Median (50th percentile)
0% Below median
The vesting percentage for performance outcomes between median
and 80th percentile will be calculated on a straight-line basis
The five-day average of the closing mid-market quotation prior to the date of
grant used to calculate the number of options granted under the LTIP and RSP,
was £21.48.
All awards were made in accordance with the approved Directors' Remuneration
Policy.
