RNS Number : 1691E Clean Power Hydrogen 23 February 2024
23 February 2024
Clean Power Hydrogen plc
("CPH2", the "Company" or the "Group)
Awards under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan
CPH2, the UK-based green hydrogen technology and manufacturing company that
has developed the IP-protected Membrane-Free Electrolyser ("MFE"), announces
awards for 2023 and 2024 under the Company's new long-term incentive plan (the
"LTIP").
The Company has awarded options in respect of a total of 2,339,872 Ordinary
Shares of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares") under the Company's EMI Share Option
Scheme (the "Options"), which is designed to incentivise members of the
Company's senior management team (together the "Participants").
Subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria, the 2023 Options
will vest on 31 January 2026 and the 2024 Options will vest on 31 January
2027. All Options will expire ten years from the date of grant. The LTIP is
structured whereby 75% of the Options ("Threshold Options") are awarded
subject to total shareholder return performance conditions and the remaining
25% of the Options ("RSP Options") are awarded conditional upon continued
employment to the scheduled vesting date. The exercise price is £0.01 per
share.
The performance conditions of the Threshold Options are dependent on the
average closing share price in the 30 days prior to scheduled vesting date
(the "Relevant Period") and the continued employment of the Participants as at
that date. The calculation of the number of Threshold Options which will vest
is as follows:
1. If the average share price during the Relevant Period is below 60p, no
Threshold Options will vest.
2. If the average share price during the Relevant Period is equal to 60p,
25% of the Threshold Options will vest.
3. If the average share price during the Relevant Period is between 60p
and 80p, the number of Threshold Options which vest will be pro-rata between
25% and 100% of the total Threshold Options; and
4. If the average share price is 80p or more during the Relevant Period,
100% of the Threshold Options will vest.
The following directors and members of the senior management team (each a
person discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMR")) have been awarded
