The Regrant CP Share Options carry an exercise price of 13.6 pence per Ordinary Share, being the weighted average price of the Company fundraises from 2010 up to 8 June 2017 (being the date in which certain share options of other directors and employees were cancelled and regranted as announced on 9 June 2017), and they will vest in equal proportions on 8 June 2018, 8 June 2019 and 8 June 2020 to match the vesting of the regrant share options granted to other directors and employees on 8 June 2017. Any new Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Regrant CP Share Options may not be sold or otherwise transferred until 8 June 2019 being the second anniversary of the date of grant of the regrant share options to other directors and employees. There are no performance conditions associated to the vesting of the Regrant CP Share Options.
Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as those definitions set out in the Circular to shareholders dated 10 May 2018.
