Grant of awards to Directors under
the Inspired PLC Incentive Plan
Inspired (AIM:INSE), the UK's leading energy and sustainability adviser, announces the grant of options ("Options") over ordinary shares of £0.0125 each in the Company to certain directors under the Inspired plc Incentive Plan ("Plan") in respect of the FY23 financial year.
Under the Plan, the Options will be exercisable at nil cost from 26 March 2027, subject to continued employment. These Options would have normally been formally granted during 2024 but that was not possible due to regulatory restrictions under the UK Market Abuse Regulation. The Company is now able to grant the Options having received approval to do so from the Takeover Panel.
In aggregate, 1,317,190 Options have been granted to the following directors of the Company:
| Name of Director | Number of Options |
