The FirstGroup Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”)

The FirstGroup Executive Annual Bonus Plan (“EABP”)

 

On 18 August 2022, in accordance with the rules of the LTIP, FirstGroup plc
(the “Company”) made the following conditional share awards to the
directors listed below under the Company’s LTIP and EABP.

 

 Director                                     Number of shares  
 Graham Sutherland (Chief Executive Officer)  972,590 (LTIP)    
 Ryan Mangold (Chief Financial Officer)       713,770 (LTIP)    
 Ryan Mangold (Chief Financial Officer)       289,456 (EABP)    

 

 

Following the testing of the performance conditions attached to the nil-cost
conditional awards granted under the LTIP, which were reviewed as part of the
FY 2025 audit, the Remuneration Committee has confirmed that the nil-cost
conditional awards would vest at 100%.  The EABP award relates to the
deferred element of annual bonus for FY 2022 to which no performance
conditions are attached other than continued employment and accordingly this
award vests in full.

released to Mr Sutherland.  On 18 August 2025, 458,035 Ordinary Shares were
sold at 225.67 pence per share to cover applicable tax and national insurance.
The balance of 514,555 shares were released to Mr Sutherland in accordance
with the Plan Rules and immediately transferred to a nominee account in his
name. 

 

On 18 August 2025, a total of 1,003,226 nil-cost conditional award Shares were
released to Mr Mangold.  On 18 August 2025, 472,462 Ordinary Shares were sold
