Hollywood Bowl ( (GB:BOWL) ) has shared an update.
Hollywood Bowl Group has granted new nil-cost share options to its executive directors and senior managers under its Long Term Incentive Plan, including 268,568 share awards to chief executive Stephen Burns and awards to other key executives such as the chief people officer, the CEO for Canada and the UK managing director. The awards, which will vest after three years and be subject to a further two-year holding period, are tied to a mix of financial and non-financial metrics for the 2026–2028 performance period, heavily weighted to pre-IFRS 16 adjusted earnings per share but also linked to relative total shareholder return against the FTSE 250, returns on centre investment and a UK emissions intensity ratio, underscoring the company’s focus on shareholder value and sustainability. In a related move, the company has implemented a 30% reduction in legacy LTIP awards granted to Canadian CEO and former CFO Laurence Keen in 2024 and 2025, achieved through the surrender of 96,895 options, reflecting a recalibration of his remuneration package following his change of role while keeping all other terms of those awards unchanged.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:BOWL) stock is a Buy with a £420.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hollywood Bowl stock, see the GB:BOWL Stock Forecast page.
