Pursuant to the terms of the Seraphine Group plc Long Term Incentive Plan, adopted by the Seraphine Board on 30 June 2021 ("LTIP"), the Remuneration Committee of the Board resolved that the performance conditions for the LTIP Awards had a performance period aligned to the three-year vesting period and applied the following performance targets and related vesting percentages:

 
 Highest consecutive five day        Percentage of award that vests 
  average share price in the last 
  three months of the performance 
  period 
 Less than GBP0.50                   0% 
                                    ------------------------------- 
 Between GBP0.50 and GBP0.75         Pro-rata 25% to 50% 
                                    ------------------------------- 
 Between GBP0.75 and GBP1.00         Pro-rata 50% to 100% 
                                    ------------------------------- 
 GBP1.00 or better                   100% 
                                    ------------------------------- 
 

Although the offer price is less than 50 pence, which is the minimum average share price ordinarily required in order for the Options to vest to any extent, the Remuneration Committee had agreed at its meeting held on 26 January 2023 to use its discretion to allow the Options to vest as to 25% on the basis its assessment of forecasted performance of the price of a Seraphine Share had the full three-year vesting period elapsed, the resulting number of Seraphine Shares in respect of 25% of the vesting of the Options being the "Vested Portion".

The Remuneration Committee have applied to the Vested Portion the fraction x/y, where x is the number of complete days between the date of the grant of the Options and the Unconditional Date and y is the number of complete days between the date of grant and the normal vesting date of the Options under the rules of the LTIP.

The Options have vested and have been exercised by the Option Holders in connection with the Vested Portion of the Options and adjusted in accordance with the time pro-rating formula set out above.
