("Staffline", the "Company" or the "Group")

Grant of Options under 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Staffline, the recruitment and training group, announces that, under the terms of the Company's 2021 long term incentive plan (the "2021 LTIP"), the Board has approved the award of and granted nil cost options (the "Options") over 1,678,279 ordinary shares of ten pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to certain employees, including persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs"), as set out below.

The vesting of the Options is subject to the satisfaction of the Company achieving certain financial performance criteria for the financial year ending 31 December 2023. 50% of the Options awarded are subject to achieving earnings per share hurdles and 50% are subject to achieving EBITDA hurdles. In addition, no Options will vest unless the average closing price of the Ordinary Shares for the last 30 business days of 2023 is above a minimum target. The Options will vest from 30 June 2024 (the "Vesting Period") and will be exercisable until 30 June 2031.

The Board believes it is key that the Group incentivises executive directors and senior managers to drive the business forward, whilst aligning their interests with those of shareholders. The Options awarded to PDMRs are set out in the table below:
