Staffline Group plc
("Staffline", the "Company" or the "Group")
Grant of Options under 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Staffline, the recruitment and training group, announces that,
under the terms of the Company's 2023 long term incentive plan (the
" 2023 LTIP "), the Board has approved the award of and granted nil
cost options (the " Options ") over 4,709,040 ordinary shares of 10
pence each in the Company (" Ordinary Shares ") to certain
employees, including persons discharging managerial
responsibilities (" PDMRs "), as set out below.
The Board believes it is key that the Group retains and
incentivises Executive Directors and senior employees to drive the
business forward, whilst aligning their interests with those of
shareholders. The Group intends to continue to fully satisfy the
exercise of options through purchases of Ordinary Shares by the
Employee Benefits Trust in order to limit the level of dilution
experienced by existing shareholders.
The vesting of the Options is subject to the satisfaction of the
Company achieving certain financial performance criteria for the
financial year ending 31 December 2025. For the Executive Directors
and relevant central Group senior employees the financial
performance criteria are based on the Group as a whole, with 50% of
the Options awarded subject to achieving earnings per share hurdles
and 50% subject to achieving underlying operating profit hurdles.
For senior employees operating within the divisions of the Group,
their performance criteria are based 20% on the Group performance
criteria, as above, and 80% on underlying operating profit hurdles
relating to their own division.
The Options will vest from 14 February 2026 (the " Vesting
Period ") and will be exercisable until 14 February 2033.
The Options awarded to PDMRs are set out in the table below.

Company's issued share capital.
