NIOX Group plc
Exercise of Options, Director Dealing and TVR
21 May 2025
NIOX Group plc (the "Company") (AIM: NIOX) today announces that on 20 May
2025, Ian Johnson and Jonathan Emms (the "Directors") exercised share options
in the Company. The options were awarded under the terms of the Company's
Performance Share Plan in 2019, 2020 and 2022.
The exercise of these awards was partially satisfied by issuing 6,272,099 new
ordinary shares of 0.08 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), with
the exercise of the remaining 6,000,000 nil-cost options being satisfied by
transferring Ordinary Shares held in Treasury.
Number of share options exercised Number of Ordinary Shares transferred from Treasury Number of Ordinary Shares
issued
Ian Johnson 7,331,897 6,000,000 1,331,897
Jonathan Emms 4,940,202 0 4,940,202
12,272,099 6,000,000 6,272,099
Furthermore, the Company notifies that on 20 May 2025, the Directors sold a
sufficient number of Ordinary Shares to satisfy the tax liability and other
costs arising on exercise. As a result, 6,670,555 Ordinary Shares were sold on
behalf of the Directors at 65.0 pence per Ordinary Share.
Further details of the exercise and sale (together the "Transaction") are
detailed below:
Number of Ordinary Shares held prior to the Transaction Number of share options exercised Number of Ordinary Shares sold Number of Ordinary Shares held subsequent to the Transaction Total interest in the issued share capital
Ian Johnson 1,071,069 7,331,897 3,924,630 4,478,336 1.07%
Jonathan Emms 1,069,123 4,940,202 2,745,925 3,263,400 0.78%
12,272,099 6,670,555
The 6,272,099 new Ordinary Shares issued in connection with these awards are
subject to an existing block admission and rank pari passu with the existing
ordinary shares of the Company.
Total voting rights
Additionally, since the last total voting rights disclosure on 1 May 2025, two
non-PMDRs exercised options over a total of 5,054,483 Ordinary Shares. The
exercise of these awards was partially satisfied by issuing 1,054,483 new
Ordinary Shares from the Company's existing block listing facility, with the
exercise of the remaining 4,000,000 options being satisfied by transferring
Ordinary Shares held in Treasury.
Following the exercise of options by two employees and the Transaction, the
Company's issued share capital now consists of 416,682,529 Ordinary Shares,
each carrying one voting right. The Company no longer holds any Ordinary
Shares in treasury and so the total number of voting rights in the Company is
416,682,529.
This number 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 FCA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Additional details are provided below in accordance with the requirements of
UK MAR.
