Strip Tinning Holdings plc
("Strip Tinning" or the "Company")
Grant of Options under 2022 Performance Share Plan
Director/PDMR Dealing
Strip Tinning Holdings plc (AIM: STG), a leading supplier of specialist connection systems to the automotive sector, announces that, under the terms of the Company's 2022 Performance Share Plan (the "PSP")[1], the Board has granted nominal cost options (the "Options") over 960,908 ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to certain Directors and employees discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs"), as set out below.
The Board believes it is key that the Company retains and incentivises its senior executive team to drive the business forward and align their interests with those of shareholders. This forms the basis for the grant of the Options.
Richard Barton, Group CEO, has chosen not to accept any options under the PSP, due to his already significant shareholding.
The Options will vest subject to the Company achieving certain financial performance criteria for the financial year ending 31 December 2025. The financial performance criteria are based on the Group as a whole, with 50% of the Options awarded subject to achieving total shareholder return hurdles and 50% subject to achieving underlying operating profit hurdles. The Remuneration Committee of the Board has discretion to amend these terms to take account of, for example, corporate activities such as acquisitions, to ensure that the performance targets remain appropriate.
The Options will vest from 3 March 2026 (the "Vesting Period"), being three years from the grant date.
The Options awarded to PDMRs are set out in the table below.
| Director/ PDMR | Position | Options granted |
| Adam Robson | Executive Chair | 413,636 |
| Mark Perrins | Managing Director | 203,636 |
| Adam Le Van | Chief Financial Officer | 171,818 |
| Steve O'Connor | Group Sales Director | 171,818 |
