Award of conditional awards under the Croda International Plc Buy-Out Share
Plan 2025 ("Buy Out Plan")
On 2 April 2025 the Company granted awards to acquire ordinary shares in the
Company to Stephen Oxley and Thomas Riermeier. These awards reflect the
awards that Stephen Oxley and Thomas Riermeier forfeited at their previous
employers and were agreed as part of their recruitment packages. The awards
and their vesting dates are set out below.
Stephen Oxley
Award Name Number of shares Vesting Date and Holding Period
Buy-out Award 1 - 2022-25 PSP 20,728 1 August 2025 (Holding Period to 1 August 2027)
Buy-out Award 2 -2023-26 PSP 25,224 1 August 2026 (Holding Period to 1 August 2028)
Buy-out Award 3 - 2024-27 PSP potential 23,790 1 August 2027 (Holding Period to 1 August 2029)
The Vesting of the performance-based element of these awards is subject to the
achievement of certain performance conditions.
*The Company will pay as compensation for the loss of 12 months of Mr Oxley's
Johnson Matthey (JM) 2024/25 annual bonus a payment of up to GBP £930,000
(less any required deductions). 50% will be paid in cash and 50% will be
deferred into shares for three years. Buy-out Award 4 relates to this latter
element. The number of shares subject to Buy-out Award 4 will be determined
by reference to the extent to which the JM performance conditions applicable
to the 2024/25 bonus for executive directors are satisfied. Once the
performance outturn is decided, the number of Shares subject to Buy-out Award
4 will be determined by taking 50% of the relevant amount and dividing that
value by the six-month average Company share price.
Award Name Value of Shares Vesting Date
Buy-out Award 5 - KPMG Special Capital £55,000 30 September 2025
Buy-out Award 6 - KPMG Special Capital £55,000 30 September 2026
Buy-out Award 7 - KPMG Special Capital £55,000 30 September 2027
The number of shares subject to each award in the above table will be
calculated using the average of the Company's share price over the three
dealing days immediately preceding the vesting date.
As noted in the Company's Annual Report & Accounts 2024, the full terms of
Mr Oxley's remuneration package will be included in the Company's Directors'
Remuneration Report for the year ending 31 December 2025.
