Under the LTIP, selected employees are entitled to exercise an Option to receive a certain number of Shares at any time after a three-year vesting period ("Vesting Period"), at a cost to the employee of the nominal value of the Shares.

Vesting of the LTIP Options is dependent on performance targets, based on total shareholder return ('TSR') and Earnings per share ('EPS'). The award is split evenly across the 2 performance conditions with 50 per cent. of the total award for each performance condition.

The maximum number of Options that vest and become exercisable into Shares at the end of the Vesting Period is calculated as follows for each performance condition:

 
              Total Shareholder Return                    % of Options that vest under the 
               (TSR)                                      TSR performance condition (50% of 
                                                                     total award)

                                          ----------------------------------------------------- 
 

Following the Vesting Period, the Options are exercisable for 10 years, after which, any un-exercised Option will lapse.

Any entitlement under the LTIP will lapse on cessation of employment prior to the end of the three-year vesting period, unless cessation of employment is by reason of redundancy, ill health or death.

In addition to these awards, both John Conoley and Nick Rutter have irrevocably and unconditionally surrendered and cancelled 1,500,000 and 250,000 Options respectively in the capital of the Company under the FireAngel Safety Technology Group 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan, previously awarded on 2 August 2019.
