Repricing of Existing Share Options

Grant of New Share Options

PDMR Disclosures

Mode Global Holdings PLC (LSE: MODE) ("Mode"), the LSE-listed fintech group, announces today that it has repriced share options to certain Directors and employees.

Repricing of Share Options

A key goal of Mode is to ensure it has long term incentivisation in place to meaningfully retain staff. Mode's previous pricing did not meet the criteria and therefore Mode has repriced existing options to a more achievable level bringing a direct line of sight to long-term incentivisation. The price is set at a level which the Board believes is both achievable, but which still motivates the Directors and employees to drive value into the business and hence increase the share value.

Existing Options held by certain of the Directors have been repriced as follows:

 
 Director            Number of           Current Exercise   New Exercise  Expiry Date 
                      Existing Options    Price              Price
