PCI-PAL PLC


("PCI Pal", the "Company" or "the Group")


 


Grant of Options under Long-Term Incentive Plan


 


PCI-PAL PLC (AIM: PCIP), the global cloud provider of secure payment solutions for business communications, announces that following shareholders voting in favour of the new Long-Term Incentive Plan at the Company's AGM held on 1 December 2025, the remuneration committee has on 18 December 2025 granted options (the "Options") over ordinary shares of nominal value each in the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") to certain persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs"), as set out in the table below.


 


The Board recognises the importance of equity incentive schemes as a means to incentivise and retain executive directors, ensuring alignment with the objectives of the Company and its shareholders. Awards are structured as nominal-cost share options subject to the achievement of performance conditions (the "LTIP Awards").


 


The Remuneration Committee of the Board approved the grants to the Executive Directors on 18 December 2025 as follows:


 


























PDMR



Position



Options



James Barham



CEO



1,000,000



Ryan Murray



CFO



479,499



Total






1,479,499



 


The LTIP Awards will normally vest on the third anniversary of grant, subject to continued employment and the satisfaction of performance conditions based on (i) share price targets (75% of the LTIP Awards) and (ii) earnings targets (25% of the LTIP Awards), in each case on a sliding scale. The performance targets will be as follows:


 


























% Vesting of each part of an award



  Share Price Targets*


  (75% of Initial Awards)



EBITDA Targets**


(25% of Initial Awards)



0% vesting



  Below or Equal to 75p



Below or Equal to £6m



Pro-rata between 0% and 100%



  Between 75p and 130p



Between £6m and £8m



100% vesting



  Equal to or more than 130p



Equal to or more than £8m



*Based on the average share price in the final 3 months of the 3 yr performance period ending on the 3rd anniversary of grant


** Based on Adjusted EBITDA for FY2028


 


Following the grant of the Options, the total number of Ordinary Shares subject to outstanding options is 11,247,471 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 15.5% of the Company's current issued share capital.
