PDMR Notification

Grant of LTIP Award

CHL, the ultimate parent company of Conduit Re, a Bermuda-based reinsurance business, today announces that the following awards over common shares of $0.01 par value each in CHL ("Common Shares") were granted under the CHL Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") to the following person discharging managerial responsibilities in CHL ("PDMR"):

(1)       Elaine Whelan, PDMR, has been awarded 248,123 Common Shares as a Performance Share Award

The award was granted on 21 June 2024 as a conditional award and will ordinarily vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, on terms that vesting is conditional upon continued employment and is also subject to the performance conditions, performance periods, dividend equivalents and malus and clawback provisions set out below, in line with the Remuneration Policy approved at CHL's 2024 AGM, and as disclosed in the Remuneration Report set out in the 2023 Annual Report & Accounts.

Growth in Net Asset Value (NAV) per share - 75% weighting

Growth in NAV per share as the primary performance metric will ensure a strong link is created for ensuring long-term growth and value creation for shareholders is the main vesting determinant of awards. Year-end shareholders' equity includes the comprehensive income (loss) for the financial year adjusted for dividends declared. Intangible assets are excluded from shareholders' equity to calculate the net tangible asset value per share.

The annual growth in NAV per share target range for awards is:

-    threshold 5%; and

-    maximum 13%.

Meeting the threshold target will result in 25% vesting of the relevant annual tranche (75%) of the award. If the threshold target is not met, the relevant annual tranche of the award will not vest. Performance between threshold and maximum will be determined on a straight-line basis.

This performance condition will be measured on an annual basis, with the award effectively split into three with each year's results being assessed against the target. In each year, performance will be measured against the target range to determine the level of vesting in respect of one-third of the total award. Vesting will only occur after completion of the full three-year performance period, and continued employment of the PDMR at the time of vesting.

Absolute Total Shareholder Return (TSR) - 25% weighting

Using absolute TSR enables Conduit to provide an objective reward for delivering value to shareholders. Total shareholder return is calculated as the percentage change in Common Share price over a period, after adjustment for Common Share dividends.

The TSR target range for awards is:

-    threshold 5%; and

-    maximum 13%.

Absolute TSR will be measured over the full three-year period of the award, rather than each individual year within the period. Meeting the threshold target will result in 25% vesting of the relevant element (25%) of the award. If the threshold target is not met, the relevant element (25%) of the award will not vest. Performance between threshold and maximum is determined on a straight-line basis.

Committee discretion with regards to LTIP vesting

The Remuneration Committee may vary performance conditions applying to any award after it is granted if an event occurs which causes the Remuneration Committee to consider that it would be appropriate to amend the performance conditions, provided the Remuneration Committee considers the varied conditions are fair and reasonable and not materially less challenging than the original conditions would have been but for the event in question.

If any year within the award vesting assessment produces a return that the Remuneration Committee believes is significantly worse than competitors and reflects poor management decisions, the Remuneration Committee will use its discretion to determine the extent to which any relevant element of the LTIP award shall vest fully (or to a lesser extent) based on the performance over the full three year period.

PDMR's beneficial ownership interest

Elaine Whelan's beneficial ownership interest stands at 281,685 Common Shares excluding the unvested shares which are the subject of the Performance Share Award specified in this announcement.
