Grant of Share Options under the Sharesave scheme
Ceres Power Holdings plc (the "Company"), a global leader in fuel cell and electrochemical technology, announces the grant of options on 30 April 2021 under the Ceres Power Sharesave Scheme (the "Scheme"). The Scheme is an 'all employee share scheme' which is available annually to all employees subject to qualifying conditions, which was approved by the HM Revenue & Customs, and which was introduced to encourage wider employee share ownership of the Company.
Options to purchase a total of 162,492 ordinary shares of 10 pence of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") have been granted. These options will be exercisable between 1 June 2024 and 30 November 2024 at an exercise price of 983.2p per share.
Included in the above is the grant of options to the following Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs"):
Richard Preston (CFO) 915
Michelle Traynor (People Director) 732
Grant Castleton-White (CPO) 1,830
Total Voting Rights
As at 30 April 2021, the Company's issued share comprised 186,289,405 Ordinary Shares, with one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. The total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company is therefore 186,289,405.
This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company.
