RNS Number : 3634Y Futura Medical PLC 13 January 2022
13 January 2022
Futura Medical plc
("Futura" or the "Company")
Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors and Total Voting Rights
Futura Medical plc (AIM: FUM), a pharmaceutical company developing a portfolio
of innovative products for sexual health and pain relief, announces the issue
of 145,556 new ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") in
respect of the 2021 remuneration of its Non-Executive Directors.
In accordance with the terms of their service agreements, John Clarke,
Non-Executive Director, and Jonathan Freeman, former Non-Executive Director,
receive 25-30 per cent of their remuneration in the form of Ordinary Shares.
For 2021, these were issued at 14.97 pence per share, being the average
closing mid-market price of the last 10 trading days of 2020 (as announced via
RNS on 14 April 2021).
The 145,556 new Ordinary Shares shall rank pari passu with the existing issued
Ordinary Shares and have been issued to the Non-Executive Directors as
follows:
Director Number of Ordinary Shares issued for 2021 remuneration Total number of Ordinary Shares held Percentage of the Company's resulting issued share capital
John Clarke 107,998 750,540 0.26%
Jonathan Freeman* 37,558 259,840 0.09%
* Stepped down from the Board on 31 December 2021
The shares element of the Non-Executive Directors' remuneration for 2022 will
be awarded at 36.36 pence per Ordinary Share, being the average closing
mid-market price for the last 10 trading days of 2021. In addition, Jeff
Needham will be awarded shares at 37.31 pence per Ordinary Share, being the
average closing mid-market price in the 10 trading days prior to his
appointment on 8 October 2021, in respect of the shares element of his
pro-rata remuneration since appointment. These Ordinary Shares are expected to
be issued in January 2023.
Full details of the Non-Executive Directors' remuneration is included in the
Company's Annual Report & Accounts.
Total Voting Rights
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange and it is anticipated
that trading of the new Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM at 8:00 am on 18
January 2022.
Immediately following the above issue, the Company will have 287,296,527
Ordinary Shares in issue, each carrying one voting right. Since the Company
currently holds no Ordinary Shares in treasury, the total number of voting
rights in the Company is therefore 287,296,527 and this figure 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 in
their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules.
