Launch of SAYE Scheme and LTIP Awards

 

EARNZ (AIM:EARN), the energy services company whose objective is to capitalise on the drive for global decarbonisation, is pleased to announce that it has launched the 2025 Save As You Earn share scheme ("2025 SAYE Scheme") for all eligible UK-based employees.

 

The 2025 SAYE Scheme allows eligible employees to commit to making a deduction from salary each month over three years. These employees shall be granted a corresponding number of options over the Company's ordinary shares of £0.04 ("Ordinary Shares"), subject to certain customary conditions being satisfied. Participants may opt to withdraw from the 2025 SAYE Scheme, recovering paid-in funds, at any point. Participants who have made 36 monthly payments may also opt to exercise their options at the exercise price of 4.2p or withdraw their savings in full.

The exercise price has been determined by applying a discount of approximately 15% to the average closing price of the Company's Ordinary Shares over the three preceding days (4.93p).

In addition, pursuant to the Earnz PLC Long Term Incentive Plan 2024 (the "Plan"), the Company has granted Nil Cost Options as detailed below:

 

Position
Type of Award
Number of Ordinary Shares over which options awarded
Peter Smith
Chief Executive Officer
LTIP
1,000,000
Elizabeth Lake
Chief Financial Officer
LTIP
1,000,000

 

The awards will vest and become exercisable on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the achievement of specified share price performance hurdles.

 

Changes to Option Terms

 

The Admission Document dated 9 August 2024 ("Admission Document") stated that the Company awarded Bob Holt, Elizabeth Lake and John Charlton nil cost options over such Ordinary Shares as shall constitute 3%, 1% and 1% respectively of the issued share capital of the Company at the "Vesting Date".

The Remuneration Committee of the Company has resolved that this will be changed to 3%, 1% and 1% respectively of the issued share capital of the Company at the "Admission Date". This results in the number of options awarded changing as follows:

 

Position
Number of options awarded based on Vesting Date
Number of options awarded based on Admission Date
Bob Holt
Chief Executive Officer
4,017,251
3,066,192
Elizabeth Lake
Chief Financial Officer
1,339,084
1,022,064
John Charlton
Company Secretary
1,339,084
1,022,064

 

These changes have been made by the remuneration committee to simplify awarding of share incentives.

All other conditions attaching to the LTIP options remain unchanged.
