RNS Number : 6847H Bango PLC 25 November 2022
25 November 2022
Bango PLC
("Bango")
Director Share purchases via Employee Share Incentive Plan
Bango (AIM: BGO), the global platform for data driven commerce, announces that
it has established a new share incentive plan (the "SIP" or the "Plan") open
to all UK based Bango employees.
The SIP, which was entered into in November, has been adopted to support the
principles of wider share ownership among all Bango's UK based employees.
The SIP allows employees to purchase ordinary shares of 20 pence each in
Bango ("Ordinary Shares") via the SIP trustee, up to HMRC limits (currently
£1,800 in any tax year). The Ordinary Shares acquired in this manner are
referred to as "Partnership Shares" and, for each Partnership Share purchased,
participants are awarded two further free Ordinary Shares, known as a
"Matching Shares". Matching and Partnership Shares are purchased by the trust
on the open market.
Matching Shares must be held for a minimum holding period of 3 years and are
forfeited if, during that period, the employee ceases to be employed by Bango.
Several employees that participate in Plan the are also PDMRs, and therefore
their purchases under the Plan will be reported as they are made.
Initial purchase of Partnership Shares and award of Matching Shares
On 24 November 2022, the Company received notification from Equiniti Share
Plan Trustees Limited, the trustee of the SIP, that on 23 November 2022 it
purchased in aggregate 11,355 Ordinary Shares in the market at a price of 194p
per Ordinary Share on behalf of those Directors and PDMRs set out in the table
below. These individuals were awarded Matching Shares in line with the plan
rules.
