RNS Number : 3730A  Creo Medical Group PLC  22 January 2024

 

 

Creo Medical Group plc

("Creo" the "Company" or the "Group")

 

Award of Shares under Share Incentive Plan, Director Dealings, Issue of Equity
and TVR

 

Creo Medical Group plc (AIM: CREO), the medical device company focused on the
emerging field of surgical endoscopy, implemented an HMRC approved Share
Incentive Plan ("SIP") during 2020 which is available to all of the Company's
UK based employees, including Directors.

 

Under the SIP, shares are acquired in four ways:

 

·    Partnership Shares where an employee can spend up to a £1,800 or 10%
of their pre-tax income, whichever is the lower;

·    Matching Shares, where Creo can give up to two free Matching Shares
for each Partnership Share bought.  The plan requires employees to remain in
employment for three years to benefit from the Matching Shares;

·    Free Shares, where Creo can give up to £3,600 of free shares in any
tax year; and

·    Dividend Shares where additional shares can be bought with any
dividends paid.

 

The Company has been notified that Fiduchi Trustees (UK) Limited, the
independent trustee of the SIP, acquired, in accordance with the SIP's rules
and on behalf of SIP participants, 171,050 ordinary shares in the Company
("Ordinary Shares"), at a price of £0.435 per Ordinary Share on 15 January
2024 to meet its obligations under the SIP.  Under the terms of the SIP, the
Company is required to issue to the SIP, two Ordinary Shares in the Company
for each Partnership Share purchased, being 225,024 new Ordinary Shares
(having taken into account 117,076 ordinary shares held by the Trust which
were previously allocated to employees who ceased employment before the shares
had vested).  These new Ordinary Shares will be held by Fiduchi Trustees (UK)
Limited as trustee of the SIP.

 

Craig Gulliford, Richard Rees and Christopher Hancock, executive directors of
the Company (the "Participating Directors") have received Partnership Shares
at a price of £0.435 per share and Matching Shares at a price of £0.001 per
share in accordance with terms of the SIP (the "Transaction"). Following this
the Participating Directors' shareholdings in the Company are as set out in
the table below:

 

 Director                  Total number of Ordinary Shares purchased or awarded under SIP  Total number of Ordinary Shares held post Transaction
 Craig Gulliford, CEO      6,207                                                           1,644,527 1 
 Richard Rees, CFO         6,207                                                           2,819,963
 Christopher Hancock, CTO  6,207                                                           4,816,413

 

Accordingly, the Company announces that it has made an application for 225,024
new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM.  It is expected that
admission will take place on 26 January 2024.  Following the allotment and
issue, the Company's issued share capital consists of 361,476,442 Ordinary
Shares. The Company does not hold any shares in Treasury. As such the total
number of shares in issue with voting rights is 361,476,442.

 

Total Voting Rights (TVR)

 

The above figure of 361,476,442 may be used by shareholders 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 Company under
the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

 

The notifications below, made in accordance with the requirements of the
Market Abuse Regulation, provide further detail in relation to the award of
the SIP Shares to the Participating Directors.

 

 1  This figure includes 1,000,000 shares held by Mr Gulliford’s wife.

About Creo Medical

 

Creo is a medical device company focused on the development and
commercialisation of minimally invasive electrosurgical devices, bringing
advanced energy to endoscopy.

 

The Company's vision is to improve patient outcomes through the development
and commercialisation of a suite of electrosurgical medical devices, each
enabled by CROMA, powered by Kamaptive. The Group has developed the CROMA
powered by Kamaptive full-spectrum adaptive technology to optimise surgical
capability and patient outcomes. Kamaptive is a seamless, intuitive
integration of multi-modal energy sources, optimised to dynamically adapt to
patient tissue during procedures such as resection, dissection, coagulation,
and ablation of tissue. Kamaptive technology provides clinicians with
increased flexibility, precision and controlled surgical solutions. CROMA
currently delivers bipolar radiofrequency ("RF") energy for precise localised
cutting and focused high frequency microwave ("MW") energy for controlled
coagulation and ablation via a single accessory port. This technology,
combined with the Group's range of patented electrosurgical devices, is
designed to provide clinicians with flexible, accurate and controlled clinical
solutions. The Directors believe the Company's technology can impact the
landscape of surgery and endoscopy by providing a safer, less invasive and
more cost-efficient option for procedures.
