Oxford Nanopore Technologies plc (the "Company")
Grant of LTIP and DBP awards and vesting of DBP and LTIP awards; Director/PDMR
Notification
Notification and public disclosure of transactions by persons discharging
managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them
The Company announces the following transactions in connection with certain of
its employee share plans, which were summarised for shareholders in the
prospectus issued in connection with the Company's admission to trading on the
London Stock Exchange.
Long Term Incentive Plan 2021 ("LTIP")
On 11 April 2025, the Company made conditional awards over ordinary shares of
£0.0001 each ("Shares") under the Company's LTIP to those Persons Discharging
Managerial Responsibilities (each a "PDMR") outlined below.
Name Number of Shares subject to award granted under LTIP
Nicholas Keher (Director) 806,451
Gordon Sanghera (Director) 1,973,434
The awards are subject to the achievement of performance conditions over a
three-year period and a subsequent two-year holding period. The shares will
accrue a dividend equivalent between the award date and the end of the holding
period.
The number of Shares over which the awards were granted was calculated based
on a price of £1.05 per Share. This is the average closing middle-market
share price, as derived from the Daily Official List of the London Stock
Exchange, for the five business days preceding the award date.
Deferred Bonus Plan 2021 ("DBP")
On 11 April 2025, the Company made conditional awards over Shares under the
Company's DBP to the PDMRs as outlined below:
Name Number of Shares subject to award granted under DBP
Gordon Sanghera (Director) 253,994
Nicholas Keher (Director) 97,840
The awards relate to the deferral into shares of 33.3% of the bonuses paid to
the PDMRs in relation to the financial year ending 31 December 2024. Under
the Company's directors' remuneration policy, at least 33.3% of the annual
bonus payable to the directors are settled in deferred share awards, with 50%
of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the award date and the
remaining 50% vesting on the second anniversary of the award date. The
shares will accrue a dividend equivalent between the award date and the
relevant vesting date.
The number of Shares over which the awards were granted was calculated based
on a price of £1.05 per share. This is the average closing middle-market
share price, as derived from the Daily Official List of the London Stock
Exchange, for the five business days preceding the award date.
Vesting of 2023 and 2024 DBP awards
On 11 April 2025, 50% of the DBP awards made to PDMR in 2023 and 2024 vested
and the awards were satisfied through the issue of new Shares in relation to
each PDMR as follows:
Gordon Sanghera (Director) 123,977
