Grant of Deferred Share Awards
In line with best practice corporate governance for AIM companies, Chariot aims to remunerate its Executive Directors through an appropriate mix of cash and share awards, thus aligning their interests with those of its shareholders. With this purpose the Annual Executives' Bonus Scheme looks to reward the achievement of pre-defined corporate performance targets through the grant of deferred bonus share awards based on the extent to which these targets were achieved during the preceding 12 months.
As a result, under the Executives' Bonus Scheme, the following Executive Directors were granted deferred bonus share awards in the form of nil cost options over ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") on 2 August 2021 under the Company's Long Term Incentive Share Scheme. Subject to continued employment, these share awards will vest evenly over the next three years on 30 June 2022, 2023 and 2024 and will remain exercisable until 1 August 2031.
