Tialis Essential IT Plc

("Tialis" or the "Company" or "Group")

Grant of Options

Tialis, the mid-market network, cloud and IT Managed Services provider, announces that on 15 December 2023 it granted a total of 1,547,288 share options to executive directors, senior managers, employees and consultants of the Company (the "Share Options"). Of the total Share Options, 400,000 were granted to Andy Parker, Executive Chairman, and 400,000 were granted to Ian Smith, Executive Director.

The award of the Share Options is part of Tialis' Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") and is designed to retain and motivate the senior leadership team, employees and consultants. Under the rules of the LTIP, the Share Options are being granted at nil cost or the nominal value of the Company's ordinary shares of 1p each and are subject to vesting rules (the "Vesting Rules").

Under the Vesting Rules, the Share Options will vest as follows:

   -      the second anniversary of the Grant Date: One-third of Award vests; 
   -      the third anniversary of the Grant Date: Two-thirds of Award vests; and 
   -      the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date: Remainder of Award vests. 

The shares cannot be issued until the Group releases them in accordance with the rules of the LTIP.

If the relevant trading company of Tialis is sold or the overall Group is taken over, the award will vest and be released in full, subject to the detailed rules of the LTIP. It is at this point that the employee can realise the value of their Share Options.

The resulting interests of Andy Parker and Ian Smith in Tialis can be summarised as follows:
