Elektron Technology plc
("Elektron" or the "Company")
Director / PDMR Shareholding
Elektron Technology plc announces that on 28 July 2016,
following the conclusion of the Company's Annual General Meeting
and as reported in the Remuneration Report of the Company's Report
& Accounts for the year ending 31 January 2016:
1. Certain directors and PDMRs disposed of their interests in
shares in the Company that were jointly held with the trustee of
the Elektron Technology plc 2012 Employee Benefit Trust ("Trustee")
pursuant to the Company's 2012 Joint Share Ownership Plan ("JSOP"),
to the Trustee. The consideration paid by the Trustee was 1 share
in the Company for every 4 jointly held shares transferred to the
Trustee by the relevant director or PDMR;
2. The Trustee granted to each of John Wilson and Keith Daley an
option to acquire shares in the Company at an exercise price equal
to the mid-market price of the Company's shares at close of
business on the day before the date of exercise ("Market Value
Option");
3. The Company established a new long-term incentive plan
("LTIP"). Under the terms of the LTIP, new shares in a direct
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Elektron Technology UK
Limited ("ETUK") ("ETUK Shares") may be issued to certain employees
and/or executive directors of the Group.
The ETUK Shares are subject to performance conditions over the
performance period to 31 January 2019, relating to: (i) a
consolidated cash balance for the Group of GBP8 million; and (ii)
target share prices for the Company's shares (with a minimum share
price hurdle of 15p, for 75% vesting). At the end of the
performance period, or in connection with a corporate transaction,
subject to achievement of the performance targets, the ETUK Shares
can be put to the Company or the Trustee in consideration of an
amount in cash or shares in the Company equal to:
(A - B + C) * 1,000, where:
-- A = the market value of the Company's shares (determined under the LTIP)
-- B = 10p and
-- C = any cash distributed to the Company's shareholders during the performance period.
The terms of the LTIP, including the performance targets, are
set out in greater detail in the Company's 2016 Remuneration
Report;
4. ETUK Shares were awarded under the LTIP to each of John
Wilson and Andy Weatherstone in consideration of the agreement by
them to become employee shareholders under section 205A of the
Employment Rights Act 1996; and
5. An option under the Company's Company Share Option Plan was
granted to Andy Weatherstone.
The Company further announces that on 29 July 2016:
6. Each of John Wilson and Keith Daley exercised their Market
Value Option to acquire shares in the Company granted by the
Trustee on 28 July 2016, in part, at an exercise price equal to the
mid-market price of the Company's shares at close of business on 28
July.

Wilson and Andy Weatherstone following the above transactions are
