Secure Trust Bank PLC

18 April 2024

Secure Trust Bank PLC

Secure Trust Bank PLC (the "Company")

Grant of awards under the Company's 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")

On 16 April 2024 the Company granted options over ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") under the LTIP to the following PDMRs:

PDMR Number of Ordinary Shares over which options granted Exercise price
David McCreadie 101,322 £0.40 per Ordinary Share
Rachel Lawrence 70,613 £0.40 per Ordinary Share
John Bevan 26,234 £0.40 per Ordinary Share
Andrew Phillips 18,402 £0.40 per Ordinary Share
Geoff Ray 21,158 £0.40 per Ordinary Share
Julian Hartley 22,921 £0.40 per Ordinary Share
Katie Docherty 22,088 £0.40 per Ordinary Share

Each option has been granted subject to performance conditions based on sliding scale measures of: (1) the Company's total shareholder return over the performance period relative to the total shareholder return performance of the current constituent companies of the FTSE Small Cap Index (excluding investment trusts) over the same period ; (2) return on average equity (target range of 14% - 16% in 2026); (3) earnings per share ('EPS') growth (target range of 3-year compound annual growth rate in continuing EPS in the range of 20% - 30%, measured from 2023 EPS for continuing businesses); and (4) an assessment of the Company's approach to risk management over the performance period.

The performance conditions also include an underpin measure which includes an assessment of general financial performance, shareholder experience, risk management performance and progress against the Group's strategy .

The performance period in each case is a period of three years starting on 1 January 2024 and ending with 31 December 2026.

Each of the four performance conditions noted above accounts for 25% of the option.

Each option will, ordinarily, vest on the date on which the Company's Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors, determines the extent to which the performance conditions have been satisfied.  Each option will be released so that the participant is entitled to exercise the vested Ordinary Shares on the vesting date except in the case of Rachel Lawrence and David McCreadie when the date of release will be at the end of a holding period which shall end on the second anniversary of the vesting date. 

The Company further granted options over Ordinary Shares without performance conditions but subject only to the participant's continued service through to the applicable vesting date, but with discretion retained for the Remuneration Committee to potentially reduce the award on settlement if it considers appropriate to do so under the LTIP plan to the following PDMRs:

PDMR Number of Ordinary Shares over which award granted Exercise price
Chris Harper 12,129 £0.40 per Ordinary Share

The number of shares under each option was set by reference to a value per Ordinary Share of 701p, which was the 3 day average mid-market price determined between 11 April 2024 to 15 April 2024.

In accordance with the terms of the options, the exercise price payable may be waived before exercise.
