Avingtrans Plc

("Avingtrans" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Share Incentive Awards, Issue of Equity and TVR

Avingtrans plc announces that the Company has under the terms of the Company's Executive Shared Ownership Plan (the "ExSOP") made grants of awards over ordinary shares of 5p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") as set out below.

Awards under the ExSOP

On 21 December 2016, the Board of Avingtrans, in accordance with the Company's ExSOP, granted awards over 984,250 Ordinary Shares at an option price of 193p. The following ExSOP awards were granted to Directors and senior managers, with each Director paying 0.1 pence for his interest in each Ordinary Share subject to his ExSOP award:

 
Director          Number of Ordinary Shares 
                   subject to ExSOP awards 
Steve McQuillan   434,750 
Stephen King      314,750 
 

Furthermore, other employees of the Company have been granted ExSOP awards over a total of 234,750 Ordinary Shares.

Under the provisions of the ExSOP, Ordinary Shares are jointly owned between the individuals above and by an employees' share trust, on terms, similar to a share option scheme, whereby the participant can benefit only from the future growth in the value of the Ordinary Shares above the closing market value of the shares on the award date (being therefore the closing market value on 22 December 2016) in excess of a carrying cost.

Awards are subject to a performance condition and participants may not normally realise any such benefit before 21 December 2019. The performance condition for each of the ExSOP awards is that the increase in adjusted EPS must be at least equal to the increase in RPI over the vesting period.

The awards under the ExSOP have been satisfied in part by the reallocation of 189,249 existing Ordinary Shares already in the employees' share trust and in part through the issue of 795,001 new Ordinary Shares. Application has been made for admission to trading on AIM for the 795,001 new Ordinary Shares ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will be effective on 3 January 2017.

Subsequent to the issue of the new Ordinary Shares as above, the Company's total issued share capital is 19,143,890 Ordinary Shares. Avingtrans does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in Avingtrans is 19,143,890.
