Pressure Technologies plc

("Pressure Technologies", the "Company" or the "Group")

Grant of awards under Value Creation Scheme

PDMR Transactions

Pressure Technologies (AIM: PRES), the specialist engineering group, announces that it has established a new executive incentive arrangement, the Pressure Technologies plc Value Creation Scheme (the "VCS"), and has granted awards under the VCS ("Awards") to certain persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") and other employees of the Company. The VCS has been designed, following consultation with major shareholders, to provide a strong motivation to executive management to maximise the performance of the Group in a manner that is closely aligned with the interests of the Company's shareholders.

The Awards entitle participants to receive in aggregate up to a maximum of 5.5% of the market capitalisation of the Company above a share price hurdle of GBP1.40 ("Share Price Hurdle"). The Share Price Hurdle has been set at a level that represents an increase of 89% on the share price as at close of business on 17 January 2022. The performance period for the Awards is three financial years, commencing from the start of FY22 on 4 October 2021.

At the end of the performance period the Awards will be settled in ordinary shares in the Company ("Shares") delivered in the form of nil cost share options ("Options"). A holding period of two years from the end of the performance period will apply to the Options and any Shares acquired pursuant to them, subject to the participant being permitted to sell Shares to cover any tax liabilities arising on exercise of an Option.

The maximum number of Shares over which Options can be granted under the VCS is 1,708,694 Shares representing 5.5% of the Company's issued share capital as at today's date.

Each participant will be awarded a number of performance units for the purposes of the VCS ("Performance Units"). The number of Options granted to participants will be determined by dividing the number of Performance Units subject to their Award by the aggregate number of Performance Units subject to all Awards (not including those which were subject to Awards which have lapsed, unless those Performance Units are reallocated under new Awards). The aggregate number of Performance Units subject to initial Awards granted under the VCS is 60, with a further 40 Performance Units available for future Awards.

Details of the PDMRs participating in the VCS and the numbers of Performance Units subject to their Awards are set out below:
