Gentrack Group Limited (NZX/ASX: GTK) (Gentrack) advises that it has issued 227,745 Performance Rights (PRs) to senior managers for nil consideration under its Senior Management Long Term Incentive Scheme (Senior Management LTI Scheme).

Each PR issued for award under the Senior Management LTI Scheme gives the right to receive one Ordinary Share in Gentrack and the total PRs issued will be divided equally between Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 of the Senior Management LTI Scheme.

113, 873 PRs (50%) (Tranche 1) will vest subject to the holder continuing to be employed by Gentrack at the end of the associated vesting period. The associated vesting period for these PRs is the eighteen months to 31 March 2022.
