The options have been granted under the Company's approved Enterprise
Management Incentive share option scheme (the "EMI Scheme") and have an
exercise price of 3.75 pence per share, the closing mid-market price of the
shares, as derived from the AIM Appendix to the London Stock Exchange Daily
Official List for 25 June 2024, (being the market price as defined under the
rules of the EMI Scheme). Save for 1,501,282 options granted to Angus
Forrest, the options are exercisable in whole or in part at any time in the
next five years conditional on the market price (under the rules of the EMI
Scheme) of the Company's shares reaching double the exercise price for a
period of at least five consecutive trading days.
*1,501,282 of the options granted to Angus Forrest have been awarded as a
reward for initiating, delivering and successfully integrating the acquisition
of Acuity Risk Management Limited. These bonus options are not subject to any
performance criteria and are exercisable between the first and tenth
anniversaries of the date of grant.
The total number of options granted under the EMI Scheme is 7,131,088,
representing approximately 4.75 per cent of the Company's current issued share
capital. In addition, there are 1,600,000 unapproved share options.
Accordingly, the total number of options that are outstanding is 8,731,088,
representing approximately 5.82 per cent of the current issued share capital.
