Of the 190m stock options: 70 million have an exercise price of 0.50p and vest immediately and are in line with both the Placing Price as set out above, and with the subscription price of a subsequent fund raising totalling 1.76 million announced on 2 October 2017; 60 million have an exercise price of 0.75p, representing a premium of 50% to the Placing Price and vest 12 months from grant; and 60 million have a exercise price of 1.0p, representing a premium of 100% to the Placing Price, and vest 18 months from grant. Should any Option holder leave the Board prior to the vesting of their Options, such Options will be forfeited.
The issue of the Options as set out above ("the Transaction") are a related party transaction under the AIM Rules. Jeremy Edelman, the Director independent of the Transaction, considers, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the Transaction are fair and reasonable so far as shareholders of the Company are concerned.
Jeremy Edelman, Executive Chairman comments:
"I am delighted to see Sachin and Stephen join the Board and very much appreciate their efforts so far. Following discussions with potential investors at the time of the Placing it was agreed that putting in place appropriate management incentives to align the interests of new investors and management would be appropriate and therefore the Company hopes the grant of Options as detailed above will achieve this. We look forward to further benefiting from their considerable technical expertise and experience".
