Tortilla Mexican Grill plc, the largest and most successful fast-casual Mexican restaurant group in the UK, announces the grant of nil cost options ("Nil Cost Options") over ordinary shares of the Company to directors under the Tortilla Mexican Grill plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2021 ("LTIP").

Given the importance of retaining our leadership team to deliver on our long term strategy, under the LTIP a limited number of eligible employees have been granted Nil Cost Options to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company of £0.01 each ("Shares"), subject to stretching performance targets and continued employment. The Company announces that the following Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMRs") of the Company have been granted Nil Cost Options:

The Nil Cost Options were granted on 10 May 2023 and will vest on 10 May 2026.

All Nil Cost Options are subject to the malus and clawback provisions set out in the LTIP rules.

All unexercised Nil Cost Options will lapse on the day falling immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.

The total number of Shares under option, including the Award Shares, is now 2,245,991 ("Total Option Shares"), including 1,103,713 granted to Richard Morris and 700,499 granted to Andy Naylor.

In the event that all of the Award Shares are issued, all other existing options over Shares are exercised, and no other Shares have been issued by the Company at that time, the Total Option Shares will represent 5.49% of the resulting issued share capital of the Company.
