Employee SAYE awards and director shareholding

Norcros announces that the Company has today been notified of the following share option grant to a Director of the Company under the Company's Save as You Earn ("SAYE") scheme.  The SAYE scheme is approved by HM Revenue and Customs.

Under the SAYE scheme, certain employees have chosen to participate resulting in them today being granted options to subscribe for up to 306,649 in aggregate ordinary shares of ten pence each in the capital of the Company ("SAYE Options") at a price of 207.5p per share.

Pursuant to this all-employee SAYE scheme award, Shaun Smith, the Group Finance Director, has received 8,674 SAYE Options.

Subject to certain conditions being satisfied, the entitlement to subscribe for shares resulting from the SAYE Options will arise in 2023 at the end of the three-year SAYE scheme savings contract period.  Participants who choose to exercise their entitlements pursuant to the rules of the SAYE scheme will meet the obligation to pay for the resultant shares out of funds they have paid into the SAYE scheme prior to such exercise.  Participants in the SAYE scheme may opt to withdraw from the SAYE scheme, recovering paid-in funds, prior to that time.
