RNS Number : 4363H Somero Enterprises Inc. 06 May 2025
Somero Enterprises Inc.
("Somero" or the "Company")
Restricted Stock Units and
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Restricted Stock Unit Awards
On 2 May 2025, the Board of the Company approved issuance of Restricted Stock
Units (RSUs) to the following executive Directors under the terms of Somero's
2020 Equity Incentive Plan at a price of 215 pence per RSU based on the
closing price on 2 May 2025.
Name Number of RSUs awarded
Tim Averkamp 65,579 shares
RSUs awarded to Mr. Averkamp, executive Director, were granted as part of an
annual incentive compensation program. The shares awarded are the maximum
available under the grants, will vest over a three-year period commencing on
the date of the grant, and require continued service for the period.
In addition to the RSUs awarded to Directors, the Board of the Company
approved RSUs to be awarded to a non-Director employee under the terms of
Somero's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan at a price of 215 pence per RSU based on
the closing price on 2 May 2025. The awards to non-Director employees are a
key element of the Company's employee retention program as well as a reward to
employees for significant contributions to the Company's performance. The
total number of RSUs awarded to non-Director employees was 10,887 which are
subject to the same vesting and service requirements as the Director awards
and each participating non-Director will, following the end of the performance
period, be notified as to the extent to which the service conditions have been
met and their award has vested.
Unless determined otherwise by the Equity Incentive Plan administrator, each
RSU will be equal to one share of common stock in the Company and will entitle
each Director to either shares of common stock or an amount of cash determined
with reference to the value of shares of common stock at the point of vesting
at the discretion of the Company.
Following the above transactions, total outstanding RSUs will equal 890,369
units and the Company's total issued share capital will be 54,718,644 shares
and no shares held in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of shares with
voting rights will be 54,718,644
