Flowtech Fluidpower plc
("Flowtech", the "Group" or the "Company")
Implementation of Long-Term Incentive Plan, Grant of Options and
PDMR dealings
Flowtech Fluidpower plc, the UK's leading specialist supplier of
technical fluid power products, announces the implementation of a
new Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") together with an initial
grant under the LTIP to the executive directors.
The LTIP has been established to incentivise management to
deliver long-term value creation for shareholders and ensure
alignment with shareholder interests.
Existing Management Incentive Plan and new Long Term Incentive
Plan
The existing Management Incentive Plan ("MIP") which has been in
place since IPO, in May 2014, was implemented around the Company's
then growth strategy, with awards that were designed to match
management's business objectives. The only other grant of options
made under the MIP was in June 2016. No further awards will be made
under the MIP.
The new LTIP will be based on market standard annual awards to
incentivise the executive directors to drive shareholder
returns.
As the grants made under the MIP in June 2016 can vest up to
June 2023, there will be a period where the two incentive schemes
will run concurrently. As such, the Remuneration Committee have
agreed for Bryce Brooks, that there will be up to a GBP1 for GBP1
offset of any value accrued for the same period of performance.
The awards made under the LTIP will be made by the granting of
nil-cost options established in accordance with the rules of the
LTIP and vesting is subject to both share price and EPS performance
criteria measured on the results for the three year financial
period to 31 December 2023.
The Remuneration Committee 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. Malus and clawback provisions are also in place to
reduce or recover any awards for criteria such as a material
misstatement of the financial statements or a serious breach of the
Company's code of ethics.
On 28 May 2021, options over 354,167 shares in aggregate (the
"2021 Awards") were granted under the LTIP to executive directors
as set out below:
Director / Role Number of shares
PDMR over which 2021 Awards
made
Bryce Brooks Chief Executive Officer 187,500
-------------------------- -------------------------
Russell Cash Chief Financial Officer 166,667
-------------------------- -------------------------
The number of shares in respect of which the 2021 Awards shall
vest and may be exercised, shall depend upon the extent to which
the demanding performance conditions are satisfied.
Unapproved Plan Option Award
In addition to the above LTIP Award, the Company announce that
it has granted an option over ordinary shares of 50 pence each in
the Company ("Ordinary Shares") on 28 May 2021 to Russell Cash,
Chief Financial Officer of Flowtech, pursuant to the rules of the
Unapproved Sub-Plan to the Flowtech Fluidpower plc Enterprise
Management Incentive Plan. This reward has been granted to Russell
as a reward for past achievement and performance.
The award provides an option to acquire a total of 150,000
Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 100 pence per Ordinary
Share. The option is exercisable upon publication of the Company's
accounts for the financial period to 31 December 2022 and is not
subject to the achievement of any performance criteria.
Director share interests
Following the above share awards, Bryce Brooks will remain
interested in 299,160 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately
0.49 per cent. of the Company's issued Ordinary Share capital.
Russell Cash will remain interested in 48,175 Ordinary Shares,
representing approximately 0.08 per cent. of the Company's issued
Ordinary Share capital.
