Performance Share Plan

LPA Group Plc, the high reliability LED lighting, electronic and electro-mechanical system designer, and manufacturer, announces the award of share options over ordinary shares in the Company (the "Share Options") under the LPA Group plc Performance Share Plan 2023 ("PSP 2023") to the following directors ("the Award Holders"), as follows:

                                                              this award

 Total Awards                   255,000                      425,000 
                               ----------  ---------------  ---------------- 
 

Under the terms of the PSP 2023, the Share Options are exercisable from 26 July 2026 subject to three increasingly targeted performance hurdles which are related to earnings per share and market capitalisation. Following vesting there is a one year holding period (excluding any ordinary shares sold to pay tax due at exercise). The Share Options are subject to clawback and malus provisions.

It is the expectation of the Company that the LPA Employee Benefits Trust (the "EBT") will satisfy the awards when exercised. In the event that the EBT does not satisfy the awards when exercised, the Company will do so through an issue of new ordinary shares to the Award Holders.

As a result of the grant of the Share Options, there are now a total of 590,000 options over ordinary shares in place for directors and employees of LPA.
