Watkin Jones plc (AIM:WJG) announces

The Award has a nominal exercise
price of one penny per share and normally becomes exercisable from
21 May 2027, subject to continued employment and performance based
on total shareholder return ('TSR') measured against absolute
growth targets.
The absolute TSR targets and
underlying three year performance period are the same as attached
to the LTIP Awards granted to others earlier to this year on 30
January 2024 as previously disclosed. The number of shares
under the Award granted to Mr Jones was also calculated by
reference to the same reference share price as was used for the
January 2024 LTIP Awards (being the Watkin Jones average share
price from 1 October 2023 to 29 January 2024).
In addition to assessing performance
against the TSR targets, the Remuneration Committee retains
discretion to reduce the vesting of the Award to ensure that all
relevant factors are taken into account, including the
consideration of any windfall gains.
