ITM Power plc
Grants under Deferred Annual Bonus Plan and vesting of options under existing awards
ITM Power plc (the "Company") announces that on 20 October 2026 awards over ordinary shares of £0.05 each in the capital of the Company were granted to certain employees under the ITM Power plc Deferred Annual Bonus Plan ("DBP").
No consideration is payable for the grant of the awards which are structured as nominal cost options at an option exercise price of £0.05 per ordinary share. The number of ordinary shares granted under the award has been calculated using a share price of 86 pence, being the closing middle market quotation as derived from the daily official list on 20 October 2026.
The awards are subject to a two-year vesting period. As this award was derived from a portion of the participants' 2026 annual bonus entitlement, where certain performance conditions have been met, these awards are not conditional on the achievement of further performance conditions, other than the participant being a director or employee within the Company's group at the time of vesting.
The DBP awards granted to Executive Directors (who are Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities) are as follows:
|
Name of Director/PDMR |
Number of Shares over which the DBP Award is granted |
|
Dennis Schulz, CEO |
141,352 |
|
Amy Grey, CFO |

|
Simon Bourne, CTO |

The Company also announces the vesting of an aggregate of 823,529 historically awarded share options to the PDMRs below in relation to the DBP and CEO discretionary award under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"):

The vested options for both the DBP and LTIP may be exercised at an option exercise price of £0.05 per ordinary share at any time prior to the exercise expiry date.
The notification is intended to satisfy the Company's obligations under Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulations.
