ALTITUDE GROUP PLC
("Altitude", the "Group" or the "Company")
Grant of Options
Altitude Group plc (AIM: ALT), the operator of a leading marketplace for personalised products, announces that it has granted 1,060,000 options in aggregate over ordinary shares of 0.4p each ("Ordinary Shares") to certain directors of the Group (the "Options").
 
The Options have been granted in amounts of 560,000 and 500,000 to Deborah Wilkinson (Chief Operating Officer) and Keith Edelman (Non-Executive Director) (together the "Option Recipients") respectively. The Options are exercisable at a price of 105p, being the volume weighted average share price for the 30 days preceding the date of this announcement. Deborah Wilkinson's options are split into two equal amounts; the first half accrue and vest on a lineal basis across 36 months from the date of grant and the second half vest in three equal tranches based on the Group achieving share price targets of 200p, 250p and 300p. Keith Edelman's options vest in three equal tranches based upon the Group achieving share price targets of 200p, 250p and 300p.
 
Following grant, the Options represent the only options over Ordinary Shares that Deborah Wilkinson and Keith Edelman will be interested in. In aggregate the Options, when added to other employee options already in existence, will result in employee options equivalent to 6.09 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company being in existence.
 
The Options are being granted to align all of the Board on similar incentive packages and this will be the last time the Company issues significant option packages to a Non-Executive Director, either current or future.
