Management Long Term Incentive Plan
Autins Group plc (AIM: AUTG), the UK and European manufacturer of the patented Neptune melt-blown material and specialist in the design, manufacture and supply of acoustic and thermal insulation solutions, announces a new long term incentive plan ("LTIP") in order to reward and incentivise the senior executives to deliver further sustainable and managed growth for the Company.
Total nil cost awards under the LTIP have been granted over 2,858,107 ordinary shares and are subject to performance criteria over the three year period ending 30 September 2023 as detailed below.
The LTIP awards over 1,270,268 ordinary shares are dependent on Group EBITDA targets in the three financial years ending 30 September 2023 ("EBITDA Awards"). For the maximum awards to be met the Group will need to deliver in aggregate an accumulative EBITDA of £6.0million (excluding any IFRS adjustments) over the three financial years ending 30 September 2023.

If the Group's share price is less than 35 pence per share at 30 September 2023 none of the these awards will vest. If the Group's share price is 65 pence or more, 100% of the Share Price Awards will vest.
