Grant of Options

 

Synectics plc (AIM: SNX), a leader in advanced security and surveillance
systems, today announces that Bob Holt OBE will be appointed as its
Non-Executive Chair immediately following the conclusion of its annual general
meeting ("AGM") to be held on 24 April 2024.

 

Bob Holt will replace Steve Coggins who will retire from the Board immediately
following the conclusion of the AGM. Steve has served as a Non-Executive
Director of the Company since January 2005, and as Interim Chair since October
2023.

 

Bob is a highly accomplished executive with over 35 years' experience in
senior leadership roles across various sectors, including Revolution Beauty,
Sureserve Group Plc, and Mears Group PLC, where he guided the company through
its successful IPO on AIM and played a pivotal role in establishing Mears as a
market leader in its sector. Bob was awarded an OBE for his significant
contributions to charity, having founded both The Footprints Foundation to
support vulnerable individuals, both locally and internationally, and The Holt
Trust, which provides grants to disabled and able-bodied young people under
25, helping them overcome barriers to achieving their full potential in
amateur sports.

 

Upon his appointment, Bob will be granted options over, in aggregate, 350,000
ordinary shares of 20 pence each in the Company which would vest on 31 March
2027 depending on the performance of the Company's share price.

 

 

Paul Webb, CEO of Synectics, commented:

 

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to welcome Bob to the Company and look
forward to his support in realising our strategic ambitions for the business.

 

"I would also like personally to thank Steve for his unwavering commitment to
Synectics over many years."
