How do Growth Shares pay out?
Growth Shares only share in value above their hurdle price. If the company's price per share at exit is below the hurdle, they receive nothing. If it's above, each Growth Share receives the difference between the two.
Ordinary Shares take the rest of the exit value, split in proportion to how many each shareholder holds. Read the full explainer.
Growth Share value per share
Value per share = Price per share at exit - Hurdle price
Example: 100,000 Ordinary Shares and 5,000 Growth Shares with a £2 hurdle. At a £1,000,000 exit, the Growth Shares are worth £37,619.05 and the Ordinary Shares £962,380.95.
